Kobe Bryants new ESPN show Detail will analyze NBA playoffs through intense film study. Kobe Bryant had always paid attention to film. He watched it every so often growing up in Italy, where his father, Joe “Jellybean” Bryant, played professionally and his only son learned so many tricks of the trade. He was a student of the game when his hoops rise began at Lower Merion High School in Philadelphia, and would end the same way nearly a quarter century later when his Hall of Fame career was over. But when it comes to his tendency to pore over game tape – a habit that will be featured on his new ESPN+ show, “Detail,” that debuts on Thursday on their new streaming service and will run throughout the NBA playoffs – he didn’t truly embrace the practice until Phil Jackson and Tex Winter came along during his fourth season with the Lakers.
