本剧基于Jeff Pearlman的书籍《Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s》创作，聚焦1980年代的洛杉矶湖人队，讲述队员的职业生涯和个人生活，以及那些在球场内外帮助定义了一个时代的非凡人物。在"表演时刻"期间，湖人队称霸NBA，5夺总冠军，是体育界最受崇敬、最具统治力的王朝之一。
　　"Showtime"曾被用作剧名，表示湖人队的"showtime era"。但由于与美国有线台Showtime撞名，并且该台是HBO竞争对手，剧集为避免混淆而放弃了沿用书名。

　　Autumn 1977. Derek Springfield is an 18-year-old misfit, who 5 years earlier was plucked from his home in the industrial outskirts of Leeds to attend Public School on a scholarship. He has just returned home at the end of his studies to await his Oxbridge results that he's hoping will result in his permanent escape. Life at home is awkward for the brainy lad and embarrassing for his working class family who can't relate: his feckless dad, no-nonsense mum and two older brothers, one a football hopeful and the other a distinctly dodgy acquirer of flash consumer goods.
　　Derek kills time by walking a no hope greyhound, Slapper, and loving out-of-his league Chrissie from afar. But under Derek's loving care Slapper gets faster - so fast she's stolen for her racing potential. Derek despairs at being completely alone once more but Chrissie gets the local community to keep watch. Slapper eventually escapes from her furious captors at an illegal flapper track. Exhausted, she somehow finds her way back and is reunited with Derek who tries to nurse her back to health his bedroom without his family finding out.
　　Derek, Chrissie and Slapper disguise themselves to avoid the dognappers and try their luck at racing her at a proper dog track. The dognappers and all the Springfields converge on the stadium for the exciting climax.
　　Its also the day Derek's results are due...
