1 Winning Time Storyline Doomed The Show In Season 2

At the end of Winning Time season 2, HBO Max made the announcement that it would be canceled, and one storyline can be singled out for dooming the show. The full-titled Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty was adapted from a book by Jeff Pearlman entitled Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s and intended to tell the story of the Los Angeles Lakers from when Magic Johnson was drafted in 1979 until his announcement that he contracted HIV in 1991. However, Winning Time was canceled, and its run has come to an end after two seasons.
