Before passing away, Kobe Bryant was working on a documentary detailing his final year on the Los Angeles Lakers. 🏀
The Last Dance
, the long-awaited 10-part documentary series detailing Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls' 1997-98 season -- the final one for that historic dynasty. There's been plenty of talking points coming out of the first two episodes, one of which is wondering what other teams or players would be interesting subjects for a similar project.
The Golden State Warriors were an obvious choice, but they actually decided against documenting one of their championship runs in a similar way. One player who did have his final season captured on film, however, was Kobe Bryant as it was known that the Lakers legend had a personal camera crew follow him and the team during the 2015-16 campaign. And in fact, plans were in place for a lengthy documentary about his last run with the Los Angeles Lakers before his tragic death earlier this year.
The sources told ESPN that rather than have anyone else chronicle his season, Bryant, who had produced and starred in his 2015 documentary Muse, ultimately sought control over the footage, which is why he decided it was best to have his own camera crew take on such a project, especially as Bryant worked to build his own post-NBA media empire.
In any case, as Holmes' reporting indicates, any film is still years away. Whenever it is eventually released, it will surely be a must-watch.
