Synopsis
Legacy: The True Story of the LA Lakers (2022) is a ten-part documentary series you can watch online on iFILM. It tracks how an ordinary basketball team turned into the loudest brand in world sport.
The spine of it is the Buss family, who bought the franchise in 1979, and the Showtime years, when Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar made the game play like Hollywood. The producers got access nobody else had: the money, the coaching feuds, the fight over Jerry Buss's empire after his death — told by the people who were actually in the room, from Pat Riley and Phil Jackson to Jerry West.
Antoine Fuqua put the series together, and instead of a victory lap it digs into power, family grudges and what winning really costs. NBA fans get plenty to chew on, but the story holds up even if you can't tell a layup from a free throw. Stream Legacy: The True Story of the LA Lakers (2022) online on iFILM.
