If Win Time creator Max Borenstein says that the series is like CrownDoes that sound right? Jerry Buss the Lakers’ Queen Elizabeth?
The HBO show is about the Los Angeles Lakers, but Borenstein argues that it’s similar to The Crown in that there’s a family at the center of this famous institution. As he put it to Deadline, “it’s the story of a dynasty, and so much like The Crown, right, where you’re telling a dynasty story.”
He continued, “We don’t have royal families but we do have celebrities and we have this franchise that is for me even more fascinating than the royal family.”
While The Crown has the Windsors, the Lakers have the Buss family, who have held majority ownership of the team since 1979 and are a huge part ofThe Lakers history. Borenstein wants to bring their side of the story, telling, “The life and growth of Jerry Buss” Jeanie BussAfter her father’s passing, she finds herself in a power battle with her brothers and ends up becoming the leader of the company as well as a successful owner.
