"Kobe doin' work" - a film dedicated to the smallest details in the game of the Mamba

.

Kobe Bryant is one of the most recognizable faces in basketball history. Tragically passed away in early 2020, the Black Mamba left a huge mark on the game of the orange ball, and his unrivaled work ethic and desire to constantly improve every detail of the game is forever sealed in one of the best documentaries aimed squarely at the details in basketball.

In 2009, Spike Lee created the film "Kobe Doin' Work", which recreates in an incredible way how the star of the Los Angeles Lakers prepares for his next game in the NBA. Inspired by the documentary about Zinedine Zidane (Zidane: A 21^St Century Portrait), which presents the image of the legendary football player through a single game, the American director does something similar with his film about Bryant.

"Kobe Doin' Work" is a film based on Bryant's preparation for an NBA regular season game, and about 70% of the screening was captured by 30 cameras following Kobe's every move since the game against the San Antonio Spurs. The film focuses entirely on the game of the star of the Los Angeles Lakers, and all his reactions and words during the meeting are also sealed, thanks to a wireless microphone.

The film itself is a full breakdown of the matchup provided by Kobe Bryant himself, who justifies every decision he makes and breaks down every interesting play, whether on defense or offense. The film follows the manic way Kobe approaches each matchup.

The documentary screening is a real gift for the die-hard basketball fans. In it, you won't learn anything about Bryant's life off the court. The nearly 90-minute film focuses on the details of Kobe's play in a specific game, but reveals to viewers the basketball player's obsession with every little part that makes up a basketball game. The film is definitely not to be missed if you want to learn new and interesting details about the game itself, as well as about Bryant's approach to basketball.
