ABC News is set to air a new one-hour special called “Superstar: Kobe Bryant,” highlighting the late NBA legend both on and off the court.

In the special, ABC will follow Kobe’s evolution, including his rise from a gifted young basketball superstar to a five-time NBA Champion with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Most of his story comes from the late NBA star himself and the television event will touch on his triumph, indiscretions, his personal life, and his tragic death in which we are still totally baffled about.

“Superstar: Kobe Bryant” airs on ABC August 18th at 10P EST and if you miss it, you’ll be able to watch it the following day on Hulu or via on-demand. Check out the trailer above and stay tuned!
