Kobe Bryant had Last Dance style crew document his final NBA season with Lakers: Report

Late Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant's final season with the Western Conference giants was reportedly recorded by a camera crew that was given unprecedented access to film the five-time NBA champion. The film crew recorded the 'Black Mamba' through the 2015-16 season, which was his 20th and final season with the Lakers and the footage was reportedly set to be converted into a Kobe Bryant documentary. Reports claimed that the Kobe Bryant documentary was supposed to be released years from now but his tragic death in a helicopter crash in January changed those plans.
