Winning Time season 2 depicts Pat Riley's rise.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT HBO's Winning Time: The Rise of The Lakers concluded with its second and final season, which saw Pat Riley's Laker team lose to the Boston Celtics in the 1984 NBA Finals.
Winning Time season 2, episode 7 features an in-depth look at the classic showdown between Larry Bird and Magic Johnson in a rematch of their 1979 NCAA Championship game. Riley appears to have a much better handle on his locker room than former head coach Paul Westhead did, particularly in handling the volatility of the Lakers locker room dynamics and Magic Johnson's superstar mentality.
Riley's impact on the Lakers during the Showtime era cannot be understated, as he embodied much of the high-entertaining Hollywood sensibilities that the team was specifically known for. Riley was instrumental outside of the aesthetic qualities alone, implementing an innovative defensive strategy known as the 1-3-1 half-court trap.
Pat Riley Became A TV Commentator In 1990 Before Coaching The Knicks Riley stepped down from coaching the Lakers even though he was named NBA Coach of the Year after the 1989-90 season. After the Lakers lost in the playoffs to the Phoenix Suns, Riley took a break from coaching and became a television commentator for NBC.
Riley officially stopped coaching before the 2008 season, naming assistant coach Erik Spoelstra head coach. In 2010, Riley traded for LeBron James, who would lead the Heat to four straight NBA Finals series, winning two back-to-back Titles in 2012 and 2013. Pat Riley's remarkable career as a head coach and president in the NBA was only just getting started in Winning Time season 2.
