HBO's "Winning Time" Cast and Their Real-Life Counterparts

McKinney was the creator of the "Showtime" style of basketball that the Lakers used to great success, but his one season with the team was ended early due to a bike accident. He went on to coach the Indiana Pacers and Kansas City Kings (who are now the Sacramento Kings). He eventually moved back to Philadelphia where he did color commentary for the 76ers. He died in 2018.
