If you are watching the HBO series Winning Time, if you have paid attention, there has been a couple of references to Kenny Carr so far, primarily on depicted Lakers roster lists.

In Sunday night's episode, he is referenced on a chalk board as being on the A team with Jack McKinney as coach during the end of training camp.

There is actually an actor named Jynediah Gittens that is playing Kenny Carr in the series.

Now that I know what he looks like, I plan to go back and see if he has any speaking roles in Sunday's episode.

A lot of the players other than Kareem, Magic, and Norm Nixon were more featured on Sunday's episode.

Kenny was one of my favorite NC State players and was the 6th pick in the 1977 NBA draft by the Lakers, and makes the Lakers team during Magic's rookie season but gets traded after 6 games.

Would be cool if Wolfpack Central could pull off an interview with Kenny. Based on the episodes so far, he was smack in the middle of NBA history.
