Starting 5

Ever wonder how the best athletes in the world maintain their bodies and balance their personal lives during a grueling NBA season? Starting 5, a new 10-part Netflix sports series, provides an intense behind-the-scenes look at five of the league’s best players.

The series delivers an unfiltered view of life at the pinnacle of professional basketball, as five athletes chase greatness, push through injuries, and balance the demands of family and legacy. The Lakers’ LeBron James exerts himself harder than ever to stay healthy — and dominant — in his 21st season, while the Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards electrifies fans with his rapid rise. Jimmy Butler propels the Heat with his relentless drive, Domantas Sabonis anchors the Kings with his versatile play, and Jayson Tatum leads the Boston Celtics in their quest for a record-breaking 18th championship.

Starting 5 is produced by UNINTERRUPTED in association with Higher Ground Productions and Omaha Productions.
