Ready for the promise?
It's show time.
It's show time.
I don't know why basketball can't feel.
Like that to me, Doctor Busz.
You do.
So I don't know if I told you this, but before I was a journalist, I was a historian.
Which means when I'm doing my work as the tv editor at the LA Times, I kind of have a soft spot for period pieces.
Which is kind of why winning time, this new HBO show about the eighties LA Lakers, struck me as the perfect subject for a podcast.
I mean, one, it's set in our backyard.
Two, it's about this iconic NBA franchise.
And three, it's about a transformative period in american life.
There's just one problem.
What's that?
I don't know about basketball.
Okay, well, that's why I'm here, right?
Exactly.
You're my basketball guy.
Thanks for saying that.
You're my tv guy, and I'm glad that my decades of professional basketball experience have finally paid off.
