Late last year, Spectrum SportsNet debuted “Birth of a Dynasty,” a four-part series that highlighted the accomplishments and struggles of the Los Angeles Lakers during the 1999-2000 NBA season.
It of course marked the start of their three-peat era, led by head coach Phil Jackson, Shaquille O’Neal and the late Kobe Bryant. Spectrum SportsNet’s series included behind-the-scenes stories from unforgettable games and moments that crowned the Lakers champions for the first time since 1988,
“Birth of a Dynasty” also featured rare and unseen archival footage with Chick Hearn and Dr. Jerry Buss, as well as interviews with Bryant, O’Neal and several other players from the championship team.
