๐๐ “Big Game James” Snubbed by ‘Winning Time’ Producers – Fans Demand to Know: Why? ๐ฌ๐คทโโ๏ธ
TL;DR:
Three-time NBA champ and Lakers legend James “Big Game” Worthy was apparently given the cold shoulder by the producers of ‘Winning Time’, the new hit Lakers drama series. Despite his pivotal role in the Lakers’ 1980s dynasty, Worthy’s voice went unheard, leaving fans and the man himself quite perplexed. ๐คโ
๐๏ธ๐บ The Fresh News:
Remember that episode of Friends where Ross didn’t get invited to Rachel’s party and he was all like “What? Am I not worthy?” Well, it seems like the producers of ‘Winning Time’ have pulled a similar stunt on our dear friend, James Worthy. And trust me, Big Game James is feeling some kind of way about it. ๐ฏ๐ฒ
For the uninitiated, ‘Winning Time’ is a docudrama series that portrays the Showtime era Lakers, of which Worthy was a key player. Now, if you’re thinking it’s weird that a main character like him didn’t get a call…well, you’re not the only one. Why’d they choose to play him like a side character from a C-rated sitcom? ๐ฌ๐ซ๐
Speaking candidly, Worthy let his disappointment be known. He was all, “Dude, seriously, they didn’t even ask me anything.” Now, we gotta wonder… are the producers of ‘Winning Time’ just clumsy party planners or did they intentionally ‘forget’ to send Big Game James his invitation? ๐คจ๐๏ธโ
Even weirder, Worthy confessed he hasn’t even bothered to watch ‘Winning Time.’ Imagine your life being depicted on a major network, and you’re just like, “Nah, I’m good.” Is this a case of major shade throwing, or is he simply uninterested? ๐บ๐ฟ๐ซ
Now, fans, let’s keep it real. This is James Worthy we’re talking about. The dude’s name literally screams worthiness. He was an integral part of the Lakers’ legendary 1980s championship run. And yet, the producers of ‘Winning Time’ decided they didn’t need his input on his own life story. What’s up with that? ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐๐
While it’s clear that Worthy’s been sidelined in this production, it’s also clear that he’s not losing sleep over it. The man’s still a legend, and no TV series can take that away. But still, wouldn’t it have been richer, truer, and definitely more worthy to have Worthy’s voice in ‘Winning Time?’ ๐๏ธ๐ฐ๏ธ๐ค

So, let’s leave it here with a thought-provoking question for all you TV producers, Lakers’ fans, and ‘Winning Time’ binge-watchers out there: In an era where authenticity is the key to winning audiences, shouldn’t the real voices be the ones we’re hearing?
