Last year HBO's hit show 'Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty' made its debut with great success with the public, not so much with the real protagonists that have been portrayed as the likes of Jeanie Buss, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Pat Riley, and Jerry West. Now has come back for its second season.

The show has come under some criticism by those who it has portrayed as not being accurate and painting certain people in negative lights, including the Lakers governor and owner Jeanie Buss who pointed out that the reality was nothing like the series portrayed.

But despite that, the show has a large contingent of viewers, one of whom is Jeanie herself, which seems contradictory after her harsh comments about the show.

“Like whether it’s right or wrong, some of it’s very wrong and some of it’s pretty spot on. And they just started season 2 and I think that John C. Reilly’s done a really good job at capturing Dr. Buss and I know some people are like I can’t believe you’re watching that show. And I said you know what, I just really miss my dad so much, it’s kind of nice to see him." Said Jeanie Buss, revealing that missing her father is what makes her watch the show.

Jeanie Buss speaks about some of the little accurate details the show has

“And I found out that they got in touch with my dad’s old tailor who had passed away, but his son took over the business. So they literally, the wardrobe that he wears that’s what was making me crazy was like those were outfits that my dad actually wore. So the attention to detail they have in certain things and you know in this season they recreate epic fare which, a lot of people don’t even know what that is, but it’s just like surreal to experience.” Said Jeanie Buss.
