Aug 22, 2022This presents a distorted version of sports history. It overstates Dr Buss’s impacted on the decision making process, while understating other key players in the franchise’s history.
-
There’s some behind-the-scenes stories that will be entertaining to hardcore fans. Largely, though, there’s a stiffness to the proceedings, a conscious attempt either not to be Winning Time or to directly rebut it. ... Legacy seems so determined to avoid controversial subjects that it comes off dry as a result; even the show’s willingness to discuss the Buss family’s internal struggles over control of the team feels somewhat contrived.
-
The result is a series peppered with highlights but that plays like too much of a licensed product, weighted down with Buss family reminiscing.

Director Antoine Fuqua, gifted though he is, simply cannot get around the fact that elements of this story are ones we have by now seen before, either in a more tightly focused way, as in the Johnson documentary, or with (for better or worse) more verve, as on “Winning Time.” ... And this documentary series exhaustively hits every narrative beat to have happened to the Buss family without pushing for the deeper insight.
