Since the first episode of “The Last Dance,” the 10-part documentary has dominated hoops headlines. Now that the ESPN 30 for 30 series has come to a close, the question is — who’s next?
With the success of the Michael Jordan era documentary, the “Showtime” Los Angeles Lakers, the Miami Heat “Big Three” and the duo of Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant could all be in line for some screentime.
As for the Golden State Warriors, the recent championship run of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green could jump to the front of the list for a documentary. However, another Warriors squad could make for a must-watch series.
After eliminating the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks in the 2007 NBA playoffs, the “We Believe” Warriors etched their names into Golden State lore.
The underdog band of Warriors could be getting treatment similar to The Last Dance. Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes recently joined The Bill Simmons Podcast to talk about the 2006-07 Warriors. While the rest of the details are still unclear, Barnes mentioned a documentary about the We Believe group could be on the way.
We’re in the midst of getting a ‘We Believe’ documentary together.
Despite losing to the Utah Jazz in the second round, endless storylines surround the We Believe Warriors.
The attitude of Barnes and Jackson, “Roaracle Arena” arriving at the national stage and Dirk Nowitzki’s poor series during an MVP campaign are just small pieces to the puzzle that makes the We Believe team worthy of a documentary.
From Don Nelson drawing up plays on the sideline to Baron Davis and Jason Richardson dunking their way through the playoffs, the We Believe team has the makings of a compelling documentary.
