The New York Times bestselling author of Sweetness delivers the first all-encompassing account of the 1980s Los Angeles Lakers, one of professional sports’ most-revered—and dominant—dynasties. The Los Angeles Lakers of the 1980s personified the flamboyance and excess of the decade over which they reigned. Beginning with the arrival of Earvin “Magic” Johnson as the number-one overall pick of the 1979 draft, the Lakers played basketball with gusto and pizzazz, unleashing their famed “Showtime” run-and-gun style on a league unprepared for their speed and ferocity—and became the most captivating show in sports and, arguably, in all-around American entertainment. The Lakers’ roster overflowed with exciting all-star-caliber players, including center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and they were led by the incomparable Pat Riley, known for his slicked-back hair, his Armani suits, and his arrogant strut. Hollywood’s biggest celebrities lined the court and gorgeous women flocked to the arena. Best of all, the team was a winner. Between 1980 and 1991, the Lakers played in an unmatched nine NBA championship series, capturing five of them.Bestselling sportswriter Jeff Pearlman draws from almost three hundred interviews to take the first full measure of the Lakers’ epic Showtime era. A dazzling account of one of America’s greatest sports sagas, Showtime is packed with indelible characters, vicious rivalries, and jaw-dropping, behind-the-scenes stories of the players’ decadent Hollywood lifestyles.  From the Showtime era’s remarkable rise to its tragic end—marked by Magic Johnson’s 1991 announcement that he had contracted HIV—Showtime is a gripping narrative of sports, celebrity, and 1980s-style excess.

I was not a Lakers fan in the 80's, but I did root for them against the Celtics. Growing up as a teenager during their dynasty I appreciated their greatness. Magic was in a world of his own and was simply amazing to watch. This book does an awesome job of providing an in depth history of their dynasty. I learned so many things while reading this book. I knew sex and cocaine were rampant during that era, but had no idea to what degree. I was surprised that the Lakers wives were that passive about the way in which their husbands had sex with so many different women. Very interesting to say the least.I didn't know the depths of jealously that Norm Nixon had for Johnson. I really enjoyed reading those stories and just how much the team grew tired of Kareem. I've never been a fan of Kareem and reading this book confirms how much of an arrogant and self-centered dude he was during his playing days. The reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because I thought the author could have gone into more detail about Johnson's retirement. I know the book was focused on the Showtime era and how the stories about Johnson having HIV is discussed in many other books, but I felt as though that chapter was very rushed as if the author had to meet a deadline. That chapter didn't flow as eloquently as the other chapters in the book. If there was an option for 4.5 stars that's really what I would have given the book. Regardless, I thought it was one of the best books that I've read. The book definitely provided a nice getaway from the Covid-19 hysteria.
