Btw Pearlman’s book did cover 1979-2001. So Shaq has a case of being in this but he needs to wait until S3 so I can avoid it

If it covered 2001, it spent maybe 5 pages at the end on it.
I don't recall a minute of it. You may be thinking of his 2nd Lakers book; Three Ring Circus. I enjoyed that one but it's nowhere near as memorable as Showtime. Honestly it's not his fault - it was just a more mean-spirited era in Lakers history and it made for a less light-hearted and enjoyable read.
I'm almost positive Showtime stops almost immediately after the loss to the Bulls under Dunleavy and then Magic's HIV announcement.
