Some folks' global impact is so significant, so singular, that they only need to be known by one name. Case in point: Kobe. Five-time NBA champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist, Oscar winner and lifetime Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard, Kobe Bryant is widely regarded as one of the sport's greatest and most influential players not just in basketball, but all of sports. And a new CNN docuseries premiering tonight is exploring the man behind all of that legend.
With the first installment debuting on CNN on Saturday, January 25 at 9pm Eastern Time, Kobe: The Making of a Legend is a three-part documentary that "chronicles the private story of the unseen forces" that propelled Bryant's ascension to athletic and cultural greatness, "and the personal transformations he confronted along the way," per the network. The second episode will follow on Saturday, February 1 at 9pm ET, with the third and final installment airing on CNN on Saturday, February 8 at the same time.
