Winning Time: The Rise Of The Lakers Dynasty season 2 premiere: Big themes, fewer butts
Before we get into the metaphorical significance of the majority Black players on the Lakers being taken around on the “White Bus,” let’s deal with the dynasty thing. We’re back in 1980, where this season’s arc will actually begin. Our rookie friend Earvin “Magic” Johnson Jr. has gotten someone pregnant—not his ex-girlfriend and favorite person Cookie—and while his lawyer and management encourage Magic to provide for this woman, they want him to keep his distance.
Now back to the metaphorical “White Bus” stuff. The team is beginning to sense some inequalities when it comes to leadership, looking mainly at captain Abdul-Jabbar as he’s been out a lot, recovering from injury and preparing for the arrival of his baby. However, as we’re shown, the real inequalities are between the players and the owners. And we see this most starkly after something happens to Magic.
