Netflix Set To Release New NBA Series Following Multiple 2023-24 All-Stars

NBA fans will get a new behind-the-scenes look at a few All-Star players in a few months. Netflix is set to release a new sports series that is called Starting 5 and it will follow five NBA players both on and off the court from the 2023-24 season.

The five players included in this will be forward LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, guard Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves, forward Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat, forward Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics, and center Domantas Sabonis of the Sacramento Kings.

Each of these players will give a glimpse into their lives off the court, as well as the preparation while playing the game that they love. Netflix has seen a rise in popularity in this type of show after it released two NFL versions of it, Quarterback and Receiver.

James has been one of the more popular players in the NBA since his debut back in the 2003 season. Entering his record 22nd season in the NBA, James will get to show fans another side of him before he retires.

He has hinted at retirement in each of the last few offseasons, so putting him in the first ideation of this series makes a lot of sense. James is arguably the greatest player of all-time, and will surely bring in a wide swath of fans.

Tatum just helped the Celtics win their record 18th NBA title so the series will likely revolve around that. He has seen a rise in popularity over the years, cementing himself as one of the more pure scorers in the NBA.

Butler has emerged as one of the bigger characters in the NBA, with fans loving his antics each season. For example, this past season, Butler took on the persona of “Emo Jimmy” and fans loved it.

The series will show how he approaches each game and how the Heat tried to come back from another loss in the NBA Finals.

Edwards has turned himself into one of the better trash-talkers around the NBA. He helped the Timberwolves reach the Western Conference Finals and people will make sure to watch to see how he is off the court.

Sabonis might prove to be the most calm of the five players on camera. But he is a killer on the court.

The second-generation star has carved out a nice career for himself, making three All-Star teams. Fans will likely want to learn more about him from this show.

Each of the five players gives the show a unique vibe and like the previous NFL series, this should be a hit among fans.
