‘Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty’ Puts the Spotlight on the ‘Showtime’ Lakers

Hoops fans are in for a treat as HBO has renewed Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty for a second season. The announcement came at the perfect time with the buzzer just about to sound on the first season. Catch the climactic season finale of the hit HBO Original sports drama series same day as the U.S. on Monday, May 9 at 9am on HBO and HBO GO, with a same day encore at 10pm on HBO.

Winning Time: The Rise of The Lakers Dynasty follows one of sports’ most revered and dominant dynasties that defined an era. Following the purchase of Los Angeles Lakers by Dr. Jerry Buss in 1979, the team went on to win five championships between 1980 and 1991.

The Lakers of the 80s did not just win games and rack up championships, they did so with style – personifying the flamboyance and excess of the decade in which they reigned supreme. True to the Hollywood nature of their homecourt, the Lakers unleashed a style of basketball on a league unprepared for their speed and ferocity – perfectly encapsulated in one word: Showtime.

Here’s how Winning Time: The Rise of The Lakers Dynasty captured the magic of Showtime and introduced an important period of basketball history to a new generation of fans:

PURE MAGIC

The Lakers had the first overall pick in the 1979 NBA Draft, and the team selected Earvin “Magic Johnson”, a 6’9” point guard with a big smile and an even bigger drive to win games. After a storied career, Johnson would go on to be one of the best players to ever step foot on a basketball court.

Played by Quincy Isaiah on the show, Winning Time: The Rise of The Lakers Dynasty follows Johnson just as his career takes off, shortly before he became the star who helped define the Lakers’ exciting brand of basketball.

WELCOME TO THE FORUM

Winning Time: The Rise of The Lakers Dynasty brings viewers along to experience the exciting atmosphere of Lakers’ home games.

With Los Angeles as their home court, Dr. Jerry Buss (John C. Reilly) took inspiration from the opening act of The Horn nightclub and brought the glitz and glamor of Hollywood to Lakers games at The Forum – the team’s home arena. Pairing a theatrical atmosphere, music, and dancers with the Lakers’ new and exciting style of play made Lakers’ games the place to be for fans and celebrities alike.

RAZZLE DAZZLE

During the Showtime era, the Lakers played an up-tempo style of basketball that relied on fast breaks and Magic Johnson’s creative passing to generate offense.

Episode four of the series offers viewers an in-depth look at the beginnings of Showtime basketball. In a practice session, coach Jack McKinney (Tracy Letts) convinces the Lakers to adapt his offensive scheme of running fast breaks. Expertly filmed to bring viewers close to the action, this practice scene is important in Lakers lore, as it marked the beginning of the transition from fundamental-heavy basketball to the Showtime Lakers style that continues to influence the modern game.

THE SKY HOOK

Aside from Magic Johnson and the fast break, the Lakers enjoyed the luxury of having Kareem-Abdul Jabbar on the team. Played by Solomon Hughes in the series, the 7’2” center would go on to finish his career with the most points scored in NBA history.

A key move in his offensive arsenal was the Sky Hook – a sweeping shot released from the side of the body that maximized Abdul-Jabbar’s long reach and tall height. In preparation for the role, Hughes spent hours trying to replicate the shot, utilizing his background as an academic researcher to analyze footage, break down the nuances, and to practice it.

Notoriously difficult to block when done right, Abdul-Jabbar’s Sky Hook was a big part of the Showtime Lakers’ success.

Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty is based on the book “Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s” written by Jeff Pearlman.

Catch up on Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty on HBO GO.

The Airbnb 2022 Summer Release: Introducing a new Airbnb for a new world of travel
Last year, Airbnb released 150 upgrades to improve every aspect of the Airbnb service. Today, Airbnb launches the biggest change to the platform in a decade including:
- Airbnb Categories – A new way to search that makes it easy to discover millions of homes you never knew existed.
- Split Stays – An innovative feature that provides more options for longer stays by splitting your trip between two homes.
- AirCover for guests – The most comprehensive protection in travel, included for free with every stay.
“The way people travel has changed forever. That’s why we’re introducing the biggest change to Airbnb in a decade,” said Brian Chesky, CEO and Co-Founder of Airbnb. “First, people are more flexible about where they live and work, so we’ve designed a new way to search with Airbnb Categories. Second, people are taking longer trips, so we created Split Stays to give you more options by splitting your trip between two homes. And third, we’re introducing AirCover for guests, giving you the confidence to book knowing that Airbnb’s got your back.”

Airbnb Stays in Silang, Calabarzon and Subic, Central Luzon

These platform updates come hot on the heels of the Philippines’ travel rebound, as travel interest amongst international and domestic guests continue to surge since the country’s international reopening on 1 April. The topmost trending summer destinations in the Philippines, ranked by searches by Philippine guests on Airbnb in Q1 2022, include:
1. Angeles, Central Luzon
2. Subic, Central Luzon
3. Mabalacat, Central Luzon
4. Antipolo, Calabarzon
5. Calatagan, Calabarzon
6. Cagayan De Oro City, Northern Mindanao
7. Panglao, Central Visayas
8. San Juan, Calabarzon
9. Bacolod, Western Visayas
10. Silang, Calabarzon
Guests are also exploring more destinations than ever before, and more than 60 new cities and towns across the Philippines have welcomed their very first Airbnb guests since the pandemic. Among these are lesser-known, off-the-beaten tourist spots including nature-based destinations Doña Remedios Trinidad in Bulacan and Bato in Leyte.

Airbnb Categories

Millions of people are now more flexible about where they live and work. But travel search has been the same for 25 years — you enter a location and dates into a search box. Most of us can only think of a few dozen cities to type into the search box, but there are Airbnbs in 100,000 towns and cities around the world.

That’s why Airbnb is introducing a new way to search designed around Airbnb Categories, with 56 new categories that organize homes based on their style, location, or proximity to a travel activity. When you search for a destination, your search results are also organized by categories that are relevant to that destination, making it easy to discover millions of unique homes you never knew existed. As you view different categories, the map intelligently zooms in to show you where the homes are located.

To create Airbnb Categories, Airbnb evaluated millions of homes using machine learning to analyze titles, written descriptions, photo captions, structured data from Hosts, and reviews from guests. Members of Airbnb’s curation team review listings and hand-pick featured photos — so if a listing is in the Amazing Pools Category, the first photo shows a pool. Then, each category goes through a final check to help ensure consistency and photo quality.

The 56 Airbnb Categories include more than 4 million unique homes that are made possible by Airbnb’s Hosts all around the world. Airbnb Categories organize homes by what makes them unique, which helps people discover places they wouldn’t have otherwise found. This can help alleviate over-tourism by redistributing travel to new locations beyond the same popular destinations.

Split Stays

In the last three months, nearly half of the nights booked on Airbnb were for trips of a week or more. That’s why Airbnb created Split Stays, an innovative feature that splits your trip between two homes. With Split Stays, you will typically see around 40% more listings when searching for longer stays.

When searching a specific destination, Split Stays automatically appear in your search results. They also appear within 14 categories — including Camping, National Parks, Skiing, and Surfing — to inspire you to stay in two destinations as part of a longer trip.

When viewing Split Stays on a map, an animated line visually connects the two homes to show you the distance between them and the sequence of the stays. Once you select a Split Stay, you’re guided through an easy-to-use interface to book each stay, one home at a time.

AirCover for Guests

After staying home for over two years, millions of Filipinos are traveling again for the first time since the start of the pandemic. That’s why Airbnb created AirCover, the most comprehensive protection in travel. AirCover is always included and always free, and it represents the biggest upgrade to Airbnb customer service in a decade.

With AirCover, you’re covered by four protections every time you stay on Airbnb:
- Booking Protection Guarantee – In the unlikely event a Host needs to cancel your booking within 30 days of check-in, we’ll find you a similar or better home, or we’ll refund you.
- Check-In Guarantee – If you can’t check into your home and the Host cannot resolve the issue, we’ll find you a similar or better home for the length of your original stay, or we’ll refund you.
- Get-What-You-Booked Guarantee – If at any time during your stay you find your listing isn’t as advertised — for example, the refrigerator stops working and your Host can’t easily fix it, or there are fewer bedrooms than listed — you’ll have three days to report it and we’ll find you a similar or better home, or we’ll refund you.
- 24-hour Safety Line – If you ever feel unsafe, you’ll get priority access to specially-trained safety agents, day or night.
AirCover has been designed directly into the Airbnb app and website, making it easy for you to contact an agent and resolve issues quickly. We created a team of specially trained agents for last-minute rebooking assistance. We also significantly expanded our 24-hour safety line to cover 16 languages.

Available starting this week

Airbnb’s redesigned app and website with over 50 categories of unique homes, the innovative Split Stays feature, and AirCover for guests will be available worldwide this week.

Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO Official Synopsis:

The Red Ribbon Army was once destroyed by Son Goku. Individuals, who carry on its spirit, have created the ultimate Androids, Gamma 1 and Gamma 2. These two Androids call themselves “Super Heroes”. They start attacking Piccolo and Gohan… What is the New Red Ribbon Army’s objective? In the face of approaching danger, it is time to awaken, Super Hero!

Since then, the manga’s popularity has continued to grow with an astonishing record of 260 million copies sold worldwide and counting. And with Dragon Ball’s ever-increasing popularity, it has expanded beyond manga to include TV animation, movies, games and merchandising. Now 38 years after the launch of the original manga, Dragon Ball continues to evolve and will reach new heights starting with this new large-scale movie.

In cinemas across the Philippines this Summer 2022, Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International. Connect with the hashtag #DragonBallSuper

Kiehl’s celebrates the Philippines for Super Brand Day 2022

Known for their finest apothecary skincare, beauty brand Kiehl’s celebrates its love for the Philippines by launching limited-edition packaging specially-made for their Lazada Philippines Super Brand Day 2022.

Lazada Super Brand Day has been Kiehl’s’ most-anticipated sale for the past few years, currently topping as the number one skincare brand on the e-commerce platform for two and a half years running. Proving that the brand upheld their position through strong initiatives, they were able to come out as the top beauty brand in Lazada in various occasions, including #1 Super Brand Opening in 2020 and #1 Super Brand Day when they celebrated their 170th anniversary in 2021.

In addition to their Kiehl’s Loves the Philippines initiatives, Kiehl’s has continued to stay true to their commitment to the planet and people. Over the past decade, Kiehl’s has supported multiple local NGOs that are focused on communities and environmental causes such as Save Philippines Seas. In 2019, they partnered with celebrities Richard and Raymond Gutierrez where proceeds were used to develop Earthducation Kits, a project done in partnership with the Department of Education. These kits are toolboxes to empower educators to turn any space into an eco-learning space, promoting environmentalism and advocacy to students, even during the pandemic.

Kiehl’s is once again partnering with Save Philippine Seas by helping fund the Earthducation: Change the Current initiative. The Earthducation initiative aims to teach 150 public school teachers about climate change and how to take action. Through this, a total of 30 teachers will receive P15,000 to implement projects within their community. With the help of key opinion leaders, Kiehl’s is pledging PHP 1,000 for every media publication that publishes an article and every influencer that posts about the initiative.

On May 24, the brand is also hosting a Livestream party counting down to the Kiehl’s Super Brand Day, where every view will be equivalent to PHP 1 donation to the initiative. In this online music festival streaming on LazLive and Facebook Live, local household names Saab Magalona, Jim Bacarro, and Curtismith will be performing.

For this year’s Lazada Super Brand Day, Kiehl’s is highlighting Filipinos’ cult-favorite products by creating limited-edition packaging that is exclusively available in the Philippines. This was unveiled to select media publications and beauty influencers in a launch event on May 4, 2022. The festive packaging includes uniquely Filipino elements, such as whimsical illustrations of jeepneys, banderitas, and Mount Mayon. Kiehl’s is dressing up the beloved favorites in the new packaging, including:
