Netflix's 'Running Point' is a comedic series centered on a woman who becomes the owner of an LA basketball team, inspired by Jeanie Buss, president of the LA Lakers. Mindy Kaling, the creator, reveals that Buss requested a comedy show about her life, highlighting her humorous approach to serious work. The show discusses Buss's journey in a male-dominated sport, balancing authenticity with fictional elements. Despite key changes, it aims to portray her legacy in a light-hearted manner as it joins other narratives about the Lakers' storied history.
Kaling noted that Buss approached her with the idea five years ago, insisting on a comedic approach rather than a dramatic portrayal of her life.
Kaling emphasized the show's focus on Buss's journey in becoming a significant player in a traditionally male-dominated sport, providing humor while depicting her serious role.
