Netflix has announced an upcoming documentary highlighting the journey of Tyrese Proctor, a standout player for the Duke Blue Devils. The film will explore his rise from his early years in Sydney, Australia, to his collegiate career at Duke University, showcasing his development as an elite basketball player.
The documentary will provide exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, personal interviews, and insights into Proctor’s life on and off the court. Fans can expect an in-depth portrayal of his dedication, challenges, and triumphs throughout his basketball career. In addition to his athletic accomplishments, the film will highlight his personal growth, work ethic, and contributions beyond basketball, offering a comprehensive look at the player and the person.
This release follows Netflix’s success with previous basketball documentaries, most notably The Redeem Team, which premiered on October 7, 2022. That film focused on the USA Basketball team’s pursuit of redemption at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, led by Duke’s legendary former coach Mike Krzyzewski. The documentary detailed the team’s struggles following a disappointing performance in 2004 and their journey back to gold medal glory.
The upcoming Tyrese Proctor documentary is expected to continue Netflix’s tradition of compelling sports storytelling. It aims to provide a deeper understanding of Proctor’s impact on the game and his legacy at Duke. Through engaging narratives and exclusive footage, the film will offer basketball enthusiasts a unique glimpse into the making of a future star.

For the greater part of his 47 years coaching on the sidelines and drawing up Xs and Os on a clipboard, there was not a coach that won at the level of Mike Krzyzewski.
His resume in 42 season at Duke basketball speaks to this: 1,202 career wins, five national championships, 15 ACC Tournament titles, 13 Final Four appearances and three Naismith College Coach of the Year awards.
The Basketball Hall of Famer’s success as a coach didn’t just stop at college, either. It also extended to the international level, with Team USA Basketball — a decision once made by Jerry Colangelo that was looked upon as perhaps a bit unorthodox at the time of his hiring in 2005.
It’s one that is now looked back on as the building block and catalyst for the United States refining its winning identity after a letdown at the 2004 Athens Olympics in which the U.S. finished with a disappointing bronze-medal finish.
Entering the 2024 Paris Olympics, USA Basketball looks to continue chasing history — and its dominance on the Olympic Stage — with a fifth consecutive and 20th overall gold medal at the Summer Games. It is a feat, and standard in some sense, that was started by Krzyzewski.
With that, let’s revisit Krzyzewski’s tenure at the helm of USA Basketball and the National Team, including his record and medals won at the Olympics:
Who is USA Basketball’s coach at the 2024 Paris Olympics?
Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr will lead Team USA into the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Kerr was named the coach of USA Basketball in 2021, replacing San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. Prior to being named the head man of the sidelines for the United States, Kerr served as one of Popovich’s assistant coaches at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Why is Mike Krzyzewki not coaching the Olympics?
Krzyzewski, who was hired by Colangelo in 2005, concluded his tenure as the USA Basketball National Team coach following the 2016 Rio Olympics. He was replaced by Popovich for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which would be his one time on the Olympic cycle for Team USA.
