It's just so damn disingenuous and scripted, with Kobe clearly mugging for the cameras and interacting with teammates differently than he normally would. Kobe's commentary and interviews were boring and explained nothing that you don't see a thousand times in NBA news segment. But worst of all, it only tracked a single freaking game! In a league that is all about the grind, a variety of opponents, and keeping mental focus, that part is unforgivable. Crappy and forgettable fluff.

Not buyin' it.

Bah. Of all the movies that could have been done about Kobe, they came up with this shit. Boring like hell. Well I kinda figured out what I am gonna be delivered when I saw the opening speech of Spike. It turned out that I was right. Watch Winning Time for a real ball documentary.

I feel like you really need to be a lifelong diehard basketball fan to get much out of this film. Basically if you've ever wondered what the players are saying out on the court during NBA games, this film puts a microphone on Kobe Bryant so you can hear him. And then Kobe Bryant also provides commentary to explain why he's saying what he's saying. Other than that, it's just a basketball game.That's it. If it was shot over a season rather than just one game, it would have been more interesting.

This would have been better if it were done over the course of a whole season rather than just one game.

Ok, this is just a ball game commented by Kobe. But I'm a real big fan of this player, this team, that I had do like this.

fuck you kobe

As a basketball, Laker, and Kobe fan, I couldn't help but be excited about this. An indepth look at the game of basketball - inside the locker room, in huddles, and interactions with players during the game. Sounds perfect, but the actual execution of it was flawed. It took over a year to finish and Kobe's demeanor comes off as contrived (can't help it with 30 cameras following your every move). It would have been nice if Spike had asked more questions during the audio commentary.
