"Fantasy Basketball" With LeBron James
LeBron can do no wrong right now except win a Title, With Shaq joining him this year who knows.I love his Nike Commercials that he done, LeBron seems like a pretty good guy with an out going personality. Every sports star want to be an Actor and Every Actor wants to be a sports star so this transition would be only fitting.
LeBron James will make his feature starring debut, playing himself in "Fantasy Basketball Camp," a Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment comedy.
Brian Grazer is producing. Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel are writing the script.
Pic is a comedy about five guys from different backgrounds who come to Vegas to live out their fantasy by attending the LeBron James Adult Basketball Camp. While it should be enough that these dreamers get to breathe the same oxygen as their hero, the campers drag James into their various life issues, ranging from serious to idiotic.
Grazer said the picture came out of meetings he had with James and his partner Maverick Carter, encounters that left Grazer feeling confident the Cleveland Cavaliers star could make the same easy transition to the screen that Eminem did in his screen debut on "8 Mile," which Grazer also produced.
"I initially sought LeBron out because my 8-year-old son, Thomas, and I were just dying to meet him, but I felt that beyond being one of the world's great superstar athletes, here was someone so relaxed and comfortable with himself that he would have the capability to be that way onscreen," Grazer said. "Later, when I watched him host 'Saturday Night Live,' and saw his advertising work, it was clear he can do this."
