Kobe Makes Spike Lee Jump Through Hoops

Kobe Bryant is all about sending a basketball through the hoops, but for the film Kobe: Doin’ Work he also seemed to make Spike Lee jump through them. According to Page Six, Kobe got all big ego on Spike by “demanding creative control over the documentary and forcing the director to drive to his house to beg for a meeting to save the project.”

Doesn’t Kobe know that when Spike Lee does a film about YOU specifically, that it’s an honor? Apparently not, because he demanded creative control and then wouldn’t even accept Spike’s calls to try and work things out. Spike then tried to drive to Kobe’s house, only to be turned away because Kobe wouldn’t see him.

The director almost decided to bag the film and highlight Tim Duncan from the Spurs instead. Oh, but that got Kobe’s attention! He then changed his tune and decided to work with Spike. Here are a few clips from their film, Kobe: Doin’ Work.
