Lebron James, Jayson Tatum and more to star in Netflix NBA series
Netflix is pulling back the curtain on five of the NBA’s major stars in the new sports series “Starting 5.”
The 10-part series follows the lives of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, the Miami Heat’s Jimmy Butler, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards, the Sacramento Kings’ Domantas Sabonis and the Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum.
Fans will get “an intense, behind-the-scenes look at five of the league’s best players,” according to the streamer.
“The series captures all five athletes in their battles on and off the court as they chase greatness, push through injuries, and balance the demands of family and legacy,” Netflix explained in a media release. “James exerts himself harder than ever to stay healthy — and dominant — in his 21st season, while Edwards electrifies with his rapid rise. Butler’s relentless drive propels the Heat, Sabonis anchors the Kings with his versatile play, and Tatum leads the Celtics in their quest for a record 18th championship.”
The series is produced by James’ media platform Uninterrupted in association with former president Barack Obama’s Higher Ground Productions and former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions.
“Starting 5” follows other behind-the-scenes sports series like “The Receiver” and “Quarterback,” which followed the NFL’s top receivers and quarterbacks from the last two seasons.
All 10 45-minute episodes of “Starting 5” will premiere on Oct. 9 on Netflix.
