The other side of having a Kobe Bryant documentary

Statement from Lake Show Life:

This discussion is not about guilt or innocence. It’s not the point of this part of the article. Kobe Bryant went through the legal process and was found not guilty.

This subject alone will be the major hangup if there is a documentary that is supposed to be in the blueprint of “The Last Dance”. Why? If the project promises insight to what really happened behind the scenes, people will sadly watch.

Is it sick? Yes. Is it stupid? Sure. Is it reality? Absolutely. Want proof?  Didn’t Gayle King’s interview with retired WNBA great, Lisa Leslie air less than a week after his death with the rape case being one of the subjects?

If Lisa Leslie wasn’t loved by Los Angeles before, she sure was after the interview. She showed class only challenged by her basketball ability. The huge point Leslie made was that the media had years to address this issue and they didn’t.

This interview was days after his death and five minutes long for broadcast. Think about a documentary that will research and dig up every possible angle to tell a story that media companies think will bring ratings. If you don’t think CBS wasn’t looking for viewers of the biggest story in the world at the time, you might want to think again.

In the end, if this documentary goes through, the respect that Lisa Leslie talks about needs to be addressed to the entire Bryant family but especially this lady.
