There are many theories and claims regarding the character of Rhonda Mitchell being based slightly on Melissa Mitchell. Find more through the plot of the HBO series.

The new HBO series Winning Time: The Rise of The Lakers Dynasty states the charismatic story behind the Basketball success of some big names in the game while sidewise exploring the relationships, bonds, and personal life as cherished by the then athletes.

The plot thickens with the relationship details between Earvin “Magic” Johnson(Quincy Isaiah) and the brief bond he forms with his Cookie’s friend.

As per ScreenRant, the character of Rhonda Mitchell in the Winning Time is a reference or amalgamation of character to the “other” girls that Magic Johnson had a brief fling with during his playing career.

Is Rhonda Mitchell On Winning Time Based on Melissa Mitchell?

Rhonda Mitchell, the friend of Cookie, with whom Magic Johnson sleeps in the Winning Time series is a subtle nod to the girls that Magic had a brief fling or sexual relationship with, during his playing career.

Rhonda appears as the very friend who introduced Cookie to Magic and it is Cookie, later in the recent episode of Winning Time, who confronts Magic about his affair.

When Magic admits to having a fling with Rhonda, he is told about her pregnancy of Rhonda and that he is the actual father of her to-be-born child.

If this fictional character as portrayed in Winning Time is not based on Melissa Mitchell, the real-life partner Magic had in his dating life; then the Winning Time series is brilliantly doing the fusion or the blend between what’s real and what is to appear as real in reel.

Magic Johnson had a romantic relationship with Melissa Mitchell in real life after he had a brief chasm with his partner Cookie.

Similarly, he had three children in real life, two with Cookie and one with Mitchell viz. Andre Johnson(born in 1981).

Did Magic Johnson Get Cookie’s Friend Pregnant?

As referred to in the Winning Time series, Magic Johnson did develop a romantic arch with Cookie’s friend Rhonda Mitchell.

In the latest episode of the Winning Time series, it was hinted that Magic is soon to be a father to Rhonda’s to-be-born child.

It is in fact Cookie herself in the series who confronts Magic about the affair and reports to him about Rhonda’s pregnancy.
