Newton Mayenge, star of Winning Time, thinks Larry Bird will adore his role in the upcoming second season of the popular television series.

Mayenge may be setting his expectations a bit high here, but even if Bird doesn’t care about the show, there are basketball fans everywhere waiting for the anticipated return of the series.

The 1980s saw the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers reach an all-time peak in their rivalry, with the teams exchanging championship wins every year. Fans flocked in droves whenever Larry Bird and Magic Johnson faced off, as the popular television film “Winning Time: The Rise Of The Lakers Dynasty” vividly demonstrated. One of the actors thinks Bird will like his role in the show, and the second season of the show is coming soon.
