The 10-episode drama series, produced by Adam McKay (Succession, Step Brothers), streaming on BINGE (new episodes dropping weekly), is based on the book “Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s” written by Jeff Pearlman, and stars John C. Reilly as Jerry Buss.

“We know Australians are a sports loving nation, and with the growing interest around basketball, and the NBA, we wanted to work with Kayo as the streaming home of sport, to help take this show to fans around the country.
