Episode Two of ‘Winning Time’ sees a changing of the guard as coach Jerry West moves on and Magic Johnson begins grappling with his fame. Alan Sepinwall’s recap
in late May of 1979: “I know Jerry is not as enamored with coaching as he thought he would be. I don’t know that my presence is going to change this.”) And various NBA lifers, like esteemed basketball reporter Marc Stein, have spent the past weekcharacterization of West as a relentlessly miserable, profane rage-aholic. As often happens in a fictionalized account of a true story, embellishments are made and personality traits are exaggerated to generate conflict.
Because the show has two prominent Jerrys — with a third one coming up next week — we will use last names as often as possible here. But if there’s a reference just to “Jerry,” it will be about Buss.But those bigger comic elements to the performance can clash with this week’s attempt to dig under the angry surface and figure out how West got this way.
The Lakers organization is not immune to racism, either, as we see the team’s longtime play-by-play man, Chick Hearn, object to the notion of trading for veteran power forward Spencer Haywood because of Haywood’s “back-to-Africa malarkey.”
