Larry Bird is expected to have a great time with his new role, according to Newton Mayenge, star of Winning Time.
The 1980s saw the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers reach an all-time peak in their rivalry, with the teams exchanging championship wins every year. When Larry Bird and Magic Johnson faced off, fans would show up in droves; this was seen in the popular television series “Winning Time: The Rise Of The Lakers Dynasty.” One of the actors thinks Bird will like his role in the show, and the second season of the show is coming soon.
Basketball enthusiasts seemed to like Winning Time, despite the show is first season receiving mixed reviews. Players like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Johnson, however, voiced their contempt for the program. Given that he is Johnson’s rival, the program is key character, Bird, also appears frequently. Furthermore, Newton Mayenge, who plays Jim Chones on the program, believes that Bird will be delighted with his representation for the duration of the second season.
Although it is admirable that Mayenge wants Bird to enjoy the show, it is possible that he has unrealistic expectations. Although there are many amusing legends about Bird from his playing days, he keeps a very low profile in public. The public seldom sees this aspect of Bird’s personality. Given his nature, it is unlikely that Bird will attend the show and express his enjoyment of it, even if he does watch it.
On the other hand, Mayenge does a fantastic job of building anticipation for the upcoming second season of Winning Time, which premieres on August 6. After a gripping first season, it will be intriguing to see where the program proceeds, especially in light of Mayenge’s criticisms of Bird’s character development. There will undoubtedly be throngs of basketball fans eager to see what happens with Bird in the show is approaching season, even if Bird decides not to watch the series.
