This was not a documentary. It was Kobe talking about the game of basketball. The best player in the game, explaining the game and his thought process behind what he does.

TBL, as someone who I believe said they play basketball, I would give watching it a shot. Kobe is a very intelligent and cerebral player, and I think anyone who plays the game can learn more by watching it. His take on the triangle was very insightful. If I was coaching ball at any level, I would show this to my team. Spike really has a way of making the game seem poetic, and it really gives non-basketball fans insight into what a player is trying to accomplish on every play.

This is coming from a huge Kobe fan:

That documentary was so fucking BORING.

The film had no insight whatsoever…and there’s only so much in depth analysis Kobe can do as a commentator in a blow out win. I don’t think the interactions with Kurt, Damon or Bruce were fake. I’ve seen wired clips of Kobe talking to Steve Smith, VC, etc. It’s an NBA game, how is he being fake if he talks to them?

Kobe strikes me as an intelligent ball player, but sometimes, he needs to chill out on the advice he gives others. In the case of Odom, I’m 100% sure it went right over his head.

If you want a hard hitting Kobe doc, Spike should have asked about everything…his childhood, his stories growing up, Colorado, Shaq, everything…I dont think Kobe will talk about any of those until he’s done playing, and its a shame, because he’s going to be hated either way, but this documentary was seriously a peice of crap.

Was it just me, or does Phil never coach? lol

I’m sure he wants to become a Global Icon by way of Cub Cadet commercials.

He may be a Yankees fan, but he doesn’t play for them. Lebron isn’t all about money like they are, clown.

I love all of the people who rip Kobe for being a dick to his teammates. Do you people remember Jordan? Jordan was a total dick to his teammates and refused to tolerate any level of mediocrity. Imagine Jordan dealing with Bynum, Odom, etc… Hell, Jordan even punched out Steve Kerr at practice. Players who are as intense at Kobe, MJ, etc… are rarely great people to work with.

They have, in turn, done a great job with LBJ’s marketing in the last couple of years.

If you could show me where they’ve done more than Goodwin’s $130 million worth of deals, then I’ll happily stand corrected.

The guy has been nothing but a fuckin solid NBA role model and was marketed accordingly by Aaron Goodwin, who LeBron threw under the bus so he could hire his homeboys.

I thought this could have been a bad decision. But, it has turned out to be a great move. He feels more comfortable with guys he’s trusted. They have, in turn, done a great job with LBJ’s marketing in the last couple of years.
