The HBO NBA basketball series “Winning Time” documenting the rise of the Los Angeles Lakers in the late 1970s to join the Boston Celtics in dominating the league throughout the 1980s has won popular acclaim even if it has been pointed out as less than entirely accurate in the way it has portrayed several key Los Angeles characters integral to the telling of that particular tale.
The Celtics play a major role as the foil to the Lakers-as-protagonists in the show, and at least one person who was there to tell the story from the green and white perspective recently had some things to say about the show.
Speaking on an episode of “The Colin Cowherd” podcast, legendary Boston beat writer Bob Ryan shed some light on what factual inaccuracies regarding the Celtics can be seen in the popular NBA history series.
Check out the clip embedded above to get Ryan’s snapshot of that historic era.
