A camera crew followed Kobe Bryant in his final season with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2015-16, filming him and teammates in locker rooms on the road and at home, in the training room, at practice and
on the team plane, ESPN's Baxter Holmes reported Friday.
According to the report, Bryant reviewed the edited work in progress and gave his input before his death in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26. "They had unprecedented and, by far, greater access than anyone else ever," said John Black, the team's former public relations vice president, per ESPN. "We certainly allowed them to do everything we could within what the league would allow, and sometimes, with a wink and look-the-other-way, allowed them even more."
"Just watching them and being able to view what the cameras were doing to Jordan's pregame-routine, I mean, it's the same thing," former Lakers' athletic trainer Marco Nunez said. "Just flash forward ... take out No. 23 with the Bulls and insert No. 24 with the Lakers. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty much identical."
