Starting 5: il quintetto iniziale

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.

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.

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!

If you love basketball, you'll love this! I love most sporting documentaries and documentary series, even if it's sports that I'm not familiar with, I like to hear stories and see the life about these essential 'super humans' and Starting 5 was no exception, I was fully into from the first episode and have enjoyed it all the way through, seeing the season unfold through different players at their different teams, how they dealt with the season, the losses and the set backs etc. I really hope we get another season focusing on a different 5 players.

Gave me a better perspective of some players and whilst I'm not a huge LeBron fan, I came away with a different level of respect for him.

Ant Edwards was by far the most entertaining and enjoyable segments of the series.
