LeBron James has yet to start playing with the Los Angeles Lakers but the NBA superstar is already making big moves in Hollywood.
According to Variety, James is behind a three-part documentary series, Shut Up and Dribble for Showtime.
The 33-year-old is the executive producer of the series along with his business partner Maverick Carter and his agent Rich Paul.
The series traces the modern history of the league and its players starting with the 1976 merger of the freewheeling American Basketball Association and the National Basketball Association, how the top players have expanded their notoriety off the court in fields such as business and fashion while becoming icons in the process.
Just last week, LeBron James opened his first public school “IPromise” in his hometown of Arkon, Ohio.
