LeBron James to Produce New Netflix Basketball Drama Film; DETAILS Inside
LeBron James hit the ground running with his new podcast before his podcast partner became his coach, but now he is venturing into producing drama films.
In his spare time, LeBron James is producing a new movie called Rez Ball. He has also been busy making his 20th NBA All-Star Team and trying to lead Team USA to their fifth consecutive gold medal in men's basketball at the Olympics.
The Chuska Warriors are a high school basketball team attempting to win the state championship after losing their best player. The Los Angeles Lakers star is producing the movie. The movie also delves deeply into the team's Native American ancestry and culture, which greatly influences the team's identity. The novel Canyon Dreams: A Basketball Season on the Navajo Reservation by Michael Powell served as the basis for the movie.
This September, the movie will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. On September 27, it will be available on Netflix. Sydney Freeland, who co-wrote the script with Sterlin Harjo, is the director of the film.
James is the owner of the production company SpringHill Entertainment, which is responsible for this movie and many other motion pictures and television shows. Along with Maverick Carter, he established the business in 2020. Since then, it has created films such as Black Ice, Dreamland: The Burning of Black Wall Street, What's My Name: Muhammad Ali, and Space Jam: A New Legacy.
This is just one of James's many endeavors outside of basketball. He has also produced a rap album, started a podcast, and co-founded a media company called "Hana Kuma" with tennis player Naomi Osaka and Carter.
James is presently aiming for his fourth Olympic medal on the court at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. He already has two gold medals from Beijing 2008 and London 2012, in addition to a bronze from Athens 2004. After a perfect 3-0 group stage record, James and Team USA will take on Team Brazil on Tuesday.
James is about to start his 22nd NBA season, his seventh with the Lakers. By the end of the season, he will turn 40 years old, and the Lakers, led by new head coach JJ Redick, are aiming for another championship. James is already among the most accomplished players in NBA history, having won four NBA titles and four NBA MVP awards. He is entering the last few seasons of his professional career and is regarded by many as one of the top two players ever.
