    Don't care for Edwards

    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!

    Are you a Basketball fan or not?

    I don't see how you couldn't like this show if you like basketball!

    It has a personal side to it to get to know the players more than these robotic questions they get asked at press conferences. For so long I've just wanted to get to know the players and now we can.

    One of the best line ups aswell as 1 is a GOAT 1 wins a championship 1 player is looked at as the next biggest thing 1 is struck by a flurry of unfortunate events And Domantis sabonis.

    Great edits the make it a masterpiece And there a lot of humour in here too.

    And alot of Personal BTS Happens to each player that is luck/bad luck of chances.

    Hope they remake this every year!

    No self reflection?

    For me personally, overall some very embarrassing moments in the presentation of these superior athletes. Do they not even in the slightest reflect on the fact that average, everyday people will be the viewers of these scenes / behavior and might really be somewhat disgusted by the presentation of their at times perverse lifestyle???

    You have got male athletes putting on three diamond studded bracelets and then the same number of the same type of necklaces after every game. You hear a player confess that he has NEVER packed or carried his own sport bags or suitcases. Four year old children get Tiffany watches for Christmas and the kids seem to be spoiled on many levels and everyone flies around on luxurious private jets ...

    The actual presentation of the exciting season and its chronological portrayal were great as well as the physical and psychological aspects presented by and about the great players. Lebron´s daughter was a human highlight as was the humility sometimes shown by Sabonis and Tatum.

    I'm not a JT fan, but now I am. Cuz he's the father ofDeuce Tatum.

    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.

    Really Great Show

    I am not a basketball fan because where I'm from (South Africa) the NBA is honestly not a huge thing. I watched this series and I honestly not only enjoyed the perspectives of the players and the work they put it and how they deal with loss, but I really learnt alot about basketball I'm general. This honestly turned me into a basketball fan and I am looking forward to watching my first NBA game. Even though on my side the games play at midnight (6-8 time difference) depending which team is playing......This is my Top3 Sports Documentary: 1. Drive to Survive 2. The Starting 5 3. The Last Dance.
