Two episodes in, Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty has met high expectations with a star-studded cast and that familiar Adam McKay feel. The Big Lead's Kyle Koster and Stephen Douglas dive into the latest episode and endeavor to power-rank the characters. With such a crowded field, it will take a special performance to crack the Top 7. And with John C. Reilly throwing 103 mph, good luck usurping the top spot. Plenty of season left, though.

'Winning Time' Power Rankings: Dr. Jerry Buss Is the Real Point Guard

The Big Lead's Stephen Douglas and Kyle Koster recap episode three of Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, a dizzying and disorienting effort that raises some real questions about the sustainability of the show. A new No. 1 emerges as Dr. Jerry Buss takes a backseat to some new characters, each chockfull of eccentricity and broadness.
