Plot summary
Cameras stay with Kobe Bryant for a single day during the 2007-08 NBA season, built around a Lakers game against the San Antonio Spurs. Thirty cameras have access to Bryant's day, and he wears a microphone that picks up what he says on the floor, on the bench and in the locker room, where the crew also films the coach addressing the team at halftime. Broadcast audio and the sound of the Staples Center fill in the game itself. Bryant adds narration recorded while watching the footage, describing his strategy and what goes through his mind. The Lakers hold the top spot in the West and want to keep it.
