The show titled “Winning Time: The Rise of The Lakers Dynasty” shows the journey of the Lakers which went on to win 5 NBA championships in the ’80s led by Magic Johnson.
Earvin Johnson Jr or Magic Johnson is one of the best players to ever play the sport. He played for the Los Angeles Lakers and is a five-time NBA champion, 3 time MVP, and 12 time NBA All-Star.
He was given the name ‘Magic’ for the first time by a sportswriter who had seen him bag 36 points, 16 rebounds, and 16 assists when he was only 15 years old.

Johnson was famous for his elegant play and swagger on the court. He was the tallest point guard during his time, standing at 6-foot-9 inches. Johnson has achieved practically everything an individual can win. He has won the championship 5 times during his 13-year stint, all of which came with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Among all of his traits, the one thing which amazed fans was his passing skills. Be it no-look passes or alley-oops, Magic mastered them all. He retired, averaging 19.5 points per game, 7.2 rebounds per game, and 11.2 assists per game. (Source: NBA.com)
