‘Court of Gold’ Director on Making Kevin Durant Cry, Getting Kicked Out of Serbia’s Locker Room and Interviewing 7’3” Victor Wembanyama on a Stool


Netflix's 'Court of Gold' director talks interviewing a crying Kevin Durant, getting kicked out of Serbia's Olympics locker room and more.

He traded Jordan for current basketball superstars like LeBron James, Steph Curry and Durant, plus foreign talents including Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama. Across six episodes, “Court of Gold” follows basketball teams from the U.S., France, Serbia and Canada as they chased Olympic glory in Paris last summer. Most of the countries were receptive, because we framed it as “We are making a time capsule of a historic moment for your basketball organization and for your country.” Team USA was an obvious choice because they have all the superstars and the story really centered around them, win or lose.
