Spike Lee’s documentary Kobe Doin’ Work, about Kobe Bryant, will premiere as part of an ESPN sports film sidebar at Tribeca.
Featuring a score by Bruce Hornsby, “Kobe” was shot during last year’s NBA playoffs when Lee and cinematographer Matthew Libatique spent a day with the Lakers standout [don't exhaust yourself with too much work there, Spike]. Following its Tribeca bow, “Kobe” will be televised May 16 on ESPN. [THR]
Then in June, it will air on the Oxygen Network between Tyson and Roman Polanski as part of RapeFest 2K9.

RapeFest 2K9! You’ll pay for the whole seat, but you’ll only use the first aid room, whore!
Also premiering at RapeFest 2K9, “R. Kelly: Love Smiles on the Statutory”
Spike Lee has to wear sunglasses to get through daily life without spending too much time hating whitey.
Busey Doin’ Coke will be pushed back to Fall because of this. Bastards.
Spike Lee looks like he can teach Kobe a thing or two about defeating static cling.
The inside of Kobe’s jersey must be filled with fire ants.
I hear the documentary is just Kobe sitting at a kitchen table holding up photographs of white women he’s anally banged.
KOBE(Holds up Picture): Donna. (Holds up another) Julie. (Holds up another) Tina.
Speaking of Spike Lee, one day I was blowing a dude – and get this – he just plastered my face and I walk into Dairy Queen and I ask for a Frosty and they’re all like, “Oh I think you’ve already been helped!” And I was all like, “I guess so! haha” And the funny thing was is I didn’t know I had semen all over my face
In my town, you’ll get shot walking into somewhere asking for a frosty when you aren’t at a Wendy’s.
@Tomo
….W-Wow
Julia Stiles and Heidi Klum have offered to play the nurse in any reenactments.
unless kobe ass rapes luke walton i’m not watching.
10 a.m. – Kobe comes home from spending all night out. Wife asks where he’s been. Kobe gives her 30 karat ring. Wife forgives him, goes shopping.
*locker door opens, chodin climbs out with jockstrap over face*
Hey fuckers, look: I’m Scorpion. GET OVER HERE!!!!!!!
It was only a day because Kobe doesn’t like to share his white women.
In Colorado, they want to call this ‘Kobe Doin’ Time’.
Not to sound overly racist, but shouldn’t this be shelved until next February?
The Japanese version of this film is about a rich man with expensive tastes slowly succumbing to cholesterol and lower digestive issues.
Nah, it makes perfect sense for ESPN’s Women’s Her Story Month.
When reached for comment, Michael Jordan was quoted as saying “That fucking Charlie Sheen is a weird motherfucker, but his vast list of loose women more than makes up for it. Spike just wanted to talk about shoes.”
If you enter “up,up,down,down,right,left,start” while playing Rapefest 2K9, you get 50 free ruphies and a customizable frat party t-shirt.
Hats off to Spike for coming up with that title, I mean BRA-fucking-VO. Other names in contention were “Kobe Throw Ball”, “Kobe Rape Shit” and “Kobe Sees Kobe (in mirror or other shiny surfaces)”.
The brilliant title “He Got Game” already got took.
“Score by Bruce Hornsby”? No wonder Spike hates white people.
The brilliant title “She Hate Me” already got took.
The brilliant title “Inside (white wo)Man” is still available.
I’m glad that Spike finally gave up on trying to solve his version of race inequities and is now basically making fanboy advertisements for his favorite sport.
@Max
Do The White Thang still available?
or
I Never Hear No Better Blues?
I hope Matthew Libatique was shooting with his “pretentious bitch” filter on the camera.
@6ways–I approve these messages. Sadly, I can’t think of a double entendre for She’s Gotta Have It. It’s like a Gordian knot of funny.
Spike Spiegel, meanwhile, has completed “Kobe Doin’ Work Like My Son, The Doctor J.”
I’m waiting for the viral mashup “Kobe Rape Turtle”
I’m just waiting for Clint Eastwood to call Spike out about there not being any white people in his NBA movie.
About time Lee made a sequel to Jungle Fever.
Spike Lee presents “Kobe Bryant’s She’s Gotta Have It, even if she says no.”
Ron Howard tried to do something like this a while ago with John Stockton. ESPN told him that the three white people that watch the NBA are wiggers anyway so it wouldn’t be very well received.
Clint Eastwood wanted to do this with George Mikan but when he approached him, George said
“I don’t think I have the legs anymore, Clint”“I’m fucking dead. Why arent’ you?”Kobe’s biopic should be called “Girl 6″.
Ya know, after the number of rapees.
I hope Spike asks Kobe all the tough questions he’s been avoiding. I really want to know the answer to “Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes”
You see, his leg was amputated a few years before he died. Jesus, am I the only person who knows who the fuck George Mikan was?
@JHC
You’re the only one JHC. You’re the only one.
Spike Lee is suing Japanese cattle for stealing what is obviously Kobe’s Bryant’s name.
“Do the Rape Thing” was taken?
