After a successful release of the documentary on Michael Jordan on Sunday, speculations of a similar show on Kobe Bryant have started to come up.

In what was a legendary career, Bryant has played 20 years for Los Angeles Lakers. He started his NBA career in 1996 and soon became one of the best players in the league. He was an All-Star in 18 of the 20 seasons he has played. Over the 20 years, he has won five NBA titles and an MVP award. His accomplishments will see him enter the Basketball Hall of Fame- the official ceremony of which will take place in August.

Unfortunately, Bryant will be enshrined posthumously. He suffered a tragic death in January in a helicopter crash. The way Bryant died, people will be trying to make a documentary based on it apart from his illustrious career.
