LeBron James Partners With Showtime For New NBA Documentary

LeBron James plays a large part in the story of the modern NBA. Now, he’ll play a large part in how that story is told.

According to a report from the Associated Press, LeBron James and Maverick Carter will partner with Showtime to produce a documentary that examines the modern NBA.

The documentary will premiere sometime in 2018 and will be directed by Gotham Chopra. It is expected to air in three parts.

James and Carter have been part of numerous television and movie productions over recent years through their company, SpringHill Entertainment.

“We developed the idea for these films because of the incredible, generational impact some of the NBA’s most successful players have had on every aspect of American culture,” said Carter.

“Gotham is the perfect filmmaker to bring these stories to life, and Showtime is the right platform to showcase how they were able to transcend the game and shape the culture in an unprecedented way.”
