Startaufstellung

I enjoyed this series. I've watched a few other similar series in this genre of pro sports, such Quarterback and Receiver on Netflix. This one gave insight into the lives of five top NBA players, including Lebron James, Jayson Tatum, Jimmy Butler, Domantas Sabonis, and Anthony Edwards. Liked how they all presented themselves for the most part except for Anthony Edwards who seems somewhat of a egotistical, immature, idiot punk. He attends the birth of his first child and as soon as she's born, he leaves the hospital room and his wife to check the last minutes of his team's game on his phone. He doesn't participate in the first part of Thanksgiving that he and his wife are hosting because he's too busy playing his stupid video games. Grow up, man!

An interesting insight into the minds of young and older athletes. At this level confidence is everything but confidence is generated in many different ways.

Well made. With significant access comes exposure. The youth of Anthony Edwards is most likely the single thing that holds him back.

Jason Taytum is the one to watch....his ability knows no bounds.

The league is a complicated and diverse universe and the starting 5 reveals at least some of that.

For new fans of the game, check out old school trailers of the greats to build knowledge.

For die hard fans....you'll always want more anyway.

Enjoyable but not enough to bring new fans to the game...in my opinion.

Although I am an huge NBA fan, I can say that they chose the wrong players for the TV series. Mostly bragging for everything and for sure, keep kids out of watching this TV series! Not that I was expecting to watch humble human beings in US sports but this was eye-opening on how this NBA stars are living.

* Potential for Bias: With LeBron James involved as a producer, there might be a concern about objectivity, especially when it comes to portraying his own career.

** Lack of critical reflection: The players might not be truly open to examining their flaws or shortcomings, leading to a somewhat sanitized version of their personalities and careers.

This show builds up an aura around the NBA, perfectly capturing the essence of characters within the NBA. The old guard of guys like the king Lebron as they move onto the next chapter of their careers not being the MVP caliber player anymore while still being able to defy father time. Or even the more in your face type of players guys like Ant-Man Edward's or Jimmy Butler, showing these personalities off the floor as well depicting the toll the NBA has on a players body and its impact on their family and the dynamics the players have with their families.

The show is however very convoluted, every episode being a mix of every player i think that if they'd dedicated each episode to just one player instead of traveling the corse of a season it would've been easier to understand especially since you'd have to assume this is aimed towards kids and their first exposure into the NBA. It also forces a lot of narratives and pushes agendas to give to the stars of the show not really accepting the reality of it.

I need a Deuce solo series ngl bro.

Deuce literally just stole the freaking show.

The rest of the series just...mid. But as a NBA fan, u can easily enjoy this. It show us those stars both on the court and off the court.

It's amazing that I know LeBron is hilarious, but idk he's that funny.

But I wish there's more AR tho.

Btw, antman wasn't make me a fan still. But I like him more than before, he's rly great at balling fs.
