Across three seasons of the nine-time Emmy-winning dramedy, Braun has shown the ability to capture audiences’ attention to the point of becoming arguably the show’s most popular character despite entering the show as one of the lesser-known actors among its ensemble. If you’ve watched Succession (or maybe even if you haven’t watched), you know exactly who Braun is. I really do think there are a handful of legitimate reasons that Braun could believably step into the Converse shoes/kicks of 1980s Kurt Rambis: Kurt Rambis is Cousin Greg, apparently? Cousin Greg of Succession (also HBO).Īnd this isn’t some kind of “comedy” article. The casting call even includes mention of James Worthy, who entered the NBA as a Lakers rookie in ‘82-’83.Īmong those names, the most relevant to Lakers fans nowadays is likely current front office member Kurt Rambis, and boy, do I have the perfect actor to play him.Įnter Nicholas Braun a.k.a.
However, the show will likely run through at least a couple more campaigns, as characterizations of Laker legends like Kurt Rambis and Mitch Kupchak - who each joined the team in ‘81-82 - are set to make appearances. The first season of the show started and ended with the Lakers winning the 1979-80 NBA championship, with the second season presumably set to pick up where the last one left off. Since another season of the TV show means another season spent covering the pseudo-real-life Lakers, HBO will need to find a new set of actors ready to step in and play a few more characters based on figures from in and around the Showtime Lakers. The show has already started work on season two, with executive producer Adam McKay calling season three “a maybe” before season one even started. #winningtime /7jSPJPnZdh- Jeff Pearlman August 1, 2022
