Do you worship the ground that Kobe Bryant walks on? If so, then today is your lucky day.

Later this year, KB24 is going to star in a Showtime documentary about his life and his career. He's been hesitant to participate in projects that take people behind-the-scenes in the past. But he has given director Gotham Chopra the go-ahead to start filming him for the documentary, which will air sometime in the fall.

"As a lifelong Boston Celtics fan, never did I imagine I would collaborate with Laker great Kobe Bryant," he said in a statement. "Kobe's quest for greatness transcends rivalries and I'm excited by his and Showtime's willingness to go down this rabbit hole together. I'm confident audiences will be intrigued by what comes out the other side."

The documentary will capture Kobe's day-to-day life as well as his training sessions and the various business meetings that he's taking now that he's launched a company called Kobe, Inc. that will help Kobe expand his personal portfolio.
