We’re just a little bit over two weeks away from the debut of Netflix’s sports series Starting 5. The superstars that the show will focus on gathered to celebrate the world premiere of the highly anticipated series last night. Continue reading to check out some photos from the event.

Starting 5, a new 10-part Netflix sports series, provides an intense, behind-the-scenes look at the 2023-24 NBA season through the eyes of five of the league’s biggest players – Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat, Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves, LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, Domantas Sabonis of the Sacramento Kings and Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics.

The series captures their battles on and off the court as they chase greatness, push through injuries, and balance the demands of family and legacy. James pushes himself harder than ever to stay healthy – and dominant – in his 21st season, while Edwards electrifies with his rapid rise. Butler’s relentless drive propels the Heat, Sabonis anchors the Kings with his versatile play, and Tatum leads the Celtics in their quest for a record 18th championship. Starting 5 delivers an unfiltered view of life at the pinnacle of professional basketball.

A series with this much star power had to do it big for their world premiere. The cast of the series and countless other celebrities celebrated the special occasion at the legendary Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, CA. Guests including Mike Tyson, Jarred Vanderbilt (Lakers), DeMar DeRozan (Kings), Coach Mike Brown (Kings), Vivek Randivé (Kings), Skilla Baby, Kayla Nicole, Rome Flynn, Hayley Marie Norman, Crissa Jackson, and more continued the party at The Spotlight in Hollywood following the screening.
