“Starting 5,” a new Netflix Sports series debuting Oct. 9, follows Jimmy Butler, Anthony Edwards, LeBron James, Domantas Sabonis and Jayson Tatum on and off the court during the 2023-24 season.
To whet fans’ appetite for the series, Netflix revealed the series trailer, which gives an in-depth look at the lives of the five NBA All-Stars.
“Starting 5” is a 10-part Netflix sports series that will provide a behind-the-scenes look at the 2023-24 NBA season through the eyes of five of the league’s biggest players: the Miami Heat’s Jimmy Butler, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards, the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James, the Sacramento Kings’ Domantas Sabonis and the Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum.
Per Netflix, the series aims to capture the players’ “battles on and off the court as they chase greatness, push through injuries, and balance the demands of family and legacy.”
James pushes himself harder than ever to stay healthy in his 21st season, while Edwards electrifies with his rapid rise. Butler’s relentless drive propels the Heat, Sabonis anchors the Kings with his versatile play, and Tatum leads the Celtics in their quest for a record 18th championship.
