It’ll be an amazing behind-the-scenes look at one of the game’s all-time greats.
It’s an off day. You bored? You looking for something to watch? You came to Bright Side instead? First off, thank you! It warms the ‘ole heart strings to know that, when bored, you do what I do: pull up Bright Side of the Sun to see what’s going on in the wonderful world of Phoenix Suns news n’ such.
Second, would you like a programming tip? Would you like a recommendation of something to fill your time? Have no fear, you can still browse Bright Side while doing it. It’s called “Netflix” and they have an entertaining show currently available for your viewing pleasure. It’s called Starting 5, and it follows Jayson Tatum, LeBron James, Anthony Edwards, Jimmy Butler, and Domantas Sabonis as they navigate their 2023-24 NBA season.
It’s a fun watch, minus the part where Ant comes into Phoenix and kicks the Suns around in the playoffs. Outside of that, seeing the day-to-day grind, the behind-the-scenes look at the lives of NBA All-Stars (not you, Sabonis…sorry), and the preparation — combined with the human side of these players — is entertaining.
But if you have an off day and nothing to do, I recommend giving it a watch.
This time next year, Starting 5 will be “must see TV”. Why? Because all of the behind-the-scenes footage will include Phoenix, Arizona as Kevin Durant is slated to appear on the show.

Durant will join Tyrese Haliburton, James Harden, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Jaylen Brown.
It’ll be fascinating to get a glimpse behind the curtain with KD, seeing his daily preparation, his unwavering dedication to the game, and how he handles everything from navigating opposing defenses to dealing with the media and criticism on social media.
This programming alert is now over. Continue enjoying the off day!
