The Lakers legend was out in D.C. when TMZ caught up with him and asked if he would be helping his friend, Barry, launch his new Netflix projects and Mamba replied like De Niro in “Goodfellas”,

Netflix is to produce scripted and unscripted content along with documentaries and features through their company, Higher Ground Productions of Barack and Michelle Obama.
