Kobe Bryant is returning to the spotlight.
The Black Mamba and ESPN announced a new in depth basketball show that will feature Kobe as the host, producer and writer of Detail.
ESPN announced the joint venture with Kobe’s Granity Studios. The show is said to be 15 episodes long and will hit the airwaves during the final weeks of the NBA season, and leading to the playoffs and NBA Finals.
“In Detail, viewers will experience unparalleled game observations from Bryant as if he were one of the players featured in an ESPN game played the day before. As one of this generation’s leading basketball minds, Bryant will provide a perspective aimed at helping young athletes, players and coaches see the game in a different way," said the ESPN press release.
“Studying game film is how the best get better. It’s the university for a master’s degree in basketball.” said Bryant. “I learned how to study film from the best coaches of all time – Phil Jackson and Tex Winter. Detail provides an opportunity to teach that skill to the next generation on large platform with ESPN.”

Bryant makes perfect sense for a show like this.
After all, not many players though the game to the level that the five-time NBA Champ and 18-time NBA All-Star. From analyzation on schemes and plays, to a focusing on the young and rising talents in the NBA, this show sounds like a home run in the making.
Considering the amount of preparation and time Bryant put into study his completion, we can only imagine that this series will be nothing short of fantastic. Factor in the popularity of Kobe, and it’s hard not to see this show having success.
