The fans wholly ignored magic Johnson with his most recent project

The Los Angeles Lakers are among the most famous and prestigious NBA franchises in the country and the world. Within its rich history, many great players have worn the purple and gold jersey, but there is one era that helped define what the team is today. The famous "Showtime" era was thanks to Jerry Buss, who bought the LA franchise and transformed the NBA forever. 

Buss signed Earvin "Magic" Johnson, and a new era began in the league that changed the game into what it is today. That Lakers roster had a lot of great and iconic players, but the most popular and the one who led the team into greatness was Magic Johnson. Johnson is one of the most influential players and also one of the greatest.

But lately, he has struggled to find relevance, and recent Lakers tv projects like the HBO fiction drama "Winning time" precisely about the "Showtime" era, including a Magic Johnson character, had created a lot of buzz for the team. And now the Lakers own Hulu's "Legacy: The true story of the LA Lakers." 

The Magic Johnson documentary for Apple + "They call me Magic" failed because the other two projects overshadowed them. And this one is more focused on the story from Johnson's perspective instead of the team as a whole, which has failed to find its audience and is getting rapidly forgotten.

A battle of the Lakers tv series

After the premiere of the HBO fiction drama "Winning time," it got praise and a lot of attention from NBA fans and general fans alike. But some of the persons being portrayed didn't like how they were represented, and there was a battle, and now Jeanie Buss wants to show the "real" story with the Hulu documentary "Legacy: The true story of the LA Lakers."
