Los Angeles Lakers: We could see a ‘The Last Dance,’ Kobe Bryant edition

ESPN is reporting that we could see a Kobe Bryant documentary on his final season in the NBA, similar to ‘The Last Dance.’

As we anticipate the premiere of episodes 3 and 4 of ESPN’s ‘The Last Dance’ this weekend, it’s been reported that we could see something similar in a few years as it pertains to Kobe Bryant and his final season in the NBA with the Los Angeles Lakers.

According to ESPN, a camera crew was given “unprecedented” access to Kobe and the Lakers during his final season in the NBA, the 2015-16 campaign.

"And just as the camera crew had unprecedented access to chronicle every moment of Jordan’s final season with the Bulls, the same holds true for Bryant’s final NBA season. The crew expanded in size during his last campaign, and as many as six personal camera crews were present during his 60-point finale."

"Bryant’s camera crew, several Lakers staffers from that season said, had unparalleled access in locker rooms both at home and on the road, in the training room, throughout the team’s practice facility and even on the team’s charter plane."

Even though the 2015-16 Lakers might’ve not had as much overall team success as Michael Jordan‘s final season with the Chicago Bulls did – that Lakers team didn’t even make the playoffs – there are certainly going to be many interesting tidbits to emerge from such documentary.

In fact, almost everything Kobe-related is often extremely fascinating. There’s only really one bad thing about this report – it’s the fact that this is just one big tease that we won’t be able to see come to fruition in years.

Generally, these types of projects take years to complete and this is probably a project that ESPN would want to space out after the release of its 10-part documentary centered around Michael Jordan and the 1997-98 Bulls.

The good news, though, is that we’re going to get it one day. Which is great news considering that Kobe left us way too soon.

It still doesn’t seem real that Kobe Bryant is no longer with us, but it’s been nearly three months since the unfortunate helicopter accident that took the life of Kobe, his daughter, and seven other individuals.
