Kobe Bryant’s ESPN Show ‘Detail’ Is Cursing NBA Players
Kobe Bryant’s new show ‘Detail’ on ESPN+ has had eight successful episodes so far. Before the start of the show, ESPN described it with following words:
“In Detail, viewers will experience unparalleled game observations from Bryant as if he were one of the players featured in an ESPN game played the day before. As one of this generation’s leading basketball minds, Bryant will provide a perspective aimed at helping young athletes, players and coaches see the game in a different way.”
They missed out a key part though… that the show was cursed. Every player who was put in the spotlight and featured by the show has run into issues shortly after their episode aired. Once, or twice may be coincidental, but 7 times? I don’t think so.
