"Anyone who knows the story of these two guys, has seen the documentaries or read about them, knows that what starts out as an intense bitter resentment and rivalry ultimately became very, very deep complicated friendship," Borenstein says of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird's relationship. "In a way, they were the only two guys who really understood each other and so they were very uniquely bonded. In our show (https://www.primetimer.com/shows/winning-time-the-rise-of-the-lakers-dynasty), hopefully we have an opportunity to get there. Getting to face the Celtics is like the White Walkers in Game of Thrones. They flirt with it for quite a while in this iteration of the dynasty and then only eventually get there. When they do, it becomes a rivalry for the ages. And so this is the hint that he’s more than just the villain, that there’s an internal presence there, and that he’s every bit as competitive and driven as Magic Johnson. Hopefully we have an opportunity to get to that place where we get to explore the beginnings of their friendship and get into Larry’s POV, which is certainly part of our ambition eventually."
