The 10-part documentary series, releasing on Wednesday, will provide an "intense, behind-the-scenes look at five of the league's best players," per Netflix.

That means viewers will get to watch James in his 21st season; Edwards as he leads the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals; Tatum as he wins his first title; Butler as the Miami Heat reach the playoffs but fail to advance past the first round; and Sabonis as he missed the postseason altogether after failing to advance past the Play-In Tournament.
