To continue to honor the life and legacy of Kobe Bryant, ESPN will air the 2009 ESPN Films and Spike Lee collaboration Kobe Doin’ Work, on Thursday, Jan. 30, at 7 p.m. ET. The documentary is an 84-minute exploration of Kobe Bryant’s work ethic, his in-game mentality and the bluntness that made him a great competitor. Bryant granted filmmaker Spike Lee and 30 cameras unprecedented access to his life for one day during the 2007–08 Los Angeles Lakers season. Kobe: Doin’ Work premiered on ESPN on May 16, 2009.
Due to this programming update, the previously scheduled women’s college basketball game featuring No. 5 Louisville at Notre Dame will now air on ESPNEWS at 7 p.m.
Programming on all other networks remains unchanged.
