What will never be, Jeanie Buss disappointed for "Winning Time," to be canceled

Despite not liking the show at the beginning because of the differences between reality and HBO's fictional series "Winning Time," the purple and gold governor and owner Jeanie Buss has changed her mind.

Buss has been enjoying this season of the show, but sadly, yesterday after the season finale hit, the news also was released that HBO now renewing the show for a third season.

There was quite a lot left on the bone as a result. In a recent interview on The Official Winning Time Podcast with Rodney Barnes, Lakers owner Jeanie Buss, who has now repeatedly shown her support of the show, was asked about where she would like to see the show head in the future.

Barnes: “Knowing where we’re going to end the ‘84 championships and knowing the outcome, where would you like to see us go in regards to the future?” Buss: "I mean, you have to you have to let us redeem ourselves and finally beat the Celtics in 85. And I think even, you know, a heartbreaking moment... When Magic had to retire from HIV... I still have to explain to people that he was only 12 years into his career. He had a lot more basketball to play. And I think that’s a moment that you talk about a person and the right place to be a leader and to step up. We were all a wreck that day of the press conference and Magic was the one holding us up. And you know what? What a difference he made in bringing awareness to a disease... He never flinched."

Jeanie Buss wanted to see the whole story to be depicted

"It’s not enough. There’s more. There are more stories to tell. And like the evolution of Pat Riley... It was very well written in terms of, you know, I had the experience — and it’s reflected in the show — where one day I’m walking down the hallway at The Forum and I’m like ‘Hey, Riles.’ And he stops me and says ‘Jeanie, I’m Coach now, you have to call me Coach.’ And it was like, ‘okay, whatever.’ ... He was where he wanted to be. And he was going to stand his ground. And what a time and a place for a person to be where they were meant to be.” Said Jeanie Buss.
