It has been four years since Kobe Bryant played his final game in the National Basketball Association (NBA) in a game that saw him walked out on his own terms with a 60-point performance and the victory. It has been three months since he and his daughter, Gigi, along with seven other individuals died in a helicopter that momentarily stopped the entire world. And yet, most of us are still grasping on the reality that one of the greatest shooting guards of our time is no longer with and even NBA legend Shaquille O' Neal said that he hasn't moved from that gloomy day and that, he won't even watch the Black Mamba's formal entrance into the Basketball Hall of Fame later this year.
And while many basketball fans from around the world are still reeling from the first two episodes of "The Last Dance" which features Michael Jordan and his final championship-winning season with the Chicago Bulls, another documentary about another great shooting guard may be on its way and this one is even closer to many as that shooting guard has been hailed as the "Michael Jordan" of his generation. That NBA great is Kobe Bean Bryant.
If a film crew was allowed to film everything that happened during the Bulls' run in the 1997-1998 season, a film crew was said to be following the late Black Mamba and the Los Angeles Lakers. In the final two years of Kobe Bryant's 20-year run with the Lakers. That is according to sports commentator, John Ireland who made the revelation in his own show.
Coincidentally, Ireland said that the crew might actually be working for the American author and filmmaker, Gotham Chopra. And considering that Chopra has already produced a documentary about Kobe Bryant, "Kobe Bryant's Muse" which was released in 2015, it's only a matter of time until the crew releases the said film, Another coincidence? Michael Jordan is among the NBA legends who spoke about Bryant in that 2015 documentary as Kobe Bryant also spoke in "The Last Dance".
While there's no word yet as to whether or not another Kobe Bryant documentary will be released, we'll love to see that film. After all, we loved the first two episodes of "The Last Dance". And when the documentary does go out, there will be a flood of tears. Everywhere.
