Starting 5

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.

I really really like the fact that they showed us the human side of the players and had some focus on their personal lives and families.

But i think there was actually too much of that and not enough focus on the actual basketball being played.

Not talking about stats or showing great games of the players, only a few highlights.

Plus the games represented such a small part of the screen time, it was honestly a dissapointment for me.

I watched a lot of netflix sports docu and this was my least favorite, if u compare it to the NFL's "Quarterback" and "Reciever", u will see that in those shows there was much more focus on the sport, showing the games, talking about the prep and even analizing them after they were played, Im not even a football fan and i was really invested in finding out whats going to happend, in this show i didnt feel that (and im an nba fan).

So for me its not that i dont wanna see their personal lifes and know them as people (for example i really like domas and jimmy butler after watching the show), but i think the balance was off here.

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!

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.
