The author behind 'Winning Time' explains how a rookie point guard and new team owner made 'Showtime' and today's NBA — and inspired the HBO series.
Well, then, it’s interesting that they were covering the NBA at the time because the other thing that was happening a lot was just these massive fights — like brawls, street-style brawls — in the NBA Finals, even, around this time.It was bad. These were real ugly fights. In short, it wasn’t a family environment.It’s so funny to me to hear this because as a craven newspaper editor, my instinct is that this controversy, this salaciousness, would be like drawing fireflies to a lamp.
So that’s sort of how I feel about how I should have bought a house probably like 10 years ago, when I graduated from college.Oh, man. So Jerry Buss really got in on the ground floor of this massively successful business venture, which is now the modern NBA.Yeah. I mean, the cheapest team you can buy, if you had some extra cash lying around, would run you —It would run you $1.5 billion. So you can check under your mattress.
I just think Jerry Buss really understood, like, we need to channel this. Like, this is more than just a really good basketball player. This is a guy who represents something and could really embody something that we were trying to sell. And when you’re a salesman and the perfect marketer comes along, I guess you just kind of know it. And he found him.It was just so clear to me from the outset that Jerry Buss recognized something in Magic Johnson that went beyond him being a great point guard.
How is a 6-9 point guard going to go along in the NBA? You have all these point guards who are 6-feet, 6-1. So you’re a 6-foot-9 point guard. That means you have a higher dribble. How are you going to handle, how are you going to navigate against little tiny Archibalds coming up to you and trying to steal the ball?
