Overview

LeBron James and his business partner Maverick Carter own production company SpringHill Entertainment,[2] whose first work was the Lions Gate documentary More Than a Game, which was released in 2009 and chronicled James's high school years.[3] Series produced by SpringHill include NBC game show The Wall,[4] the Disney XD sports documentaries Becoming,[5] Starz sitcom Survivor's Remorse,[6] and animated web series The LeBrons.[7] In 2016, CNBC aired an unscripted series hosted by James called Cleveland Hustles, where four up-and-coming Northern Ohio entrepreneurs will be financed on the condition of revitalizing a neighborhood in Cleveland.[8] In the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival, a 60-minute Vince Carter documentary entitled The Carter Effect was executive produced by James and Maverick Carter along with rapper Drake and Future the Prince.[9][10] In February 2018 it was announced that James's production company will produce a new film in the House Party series with James expected to make a cameo.[11] Later that month, Fox News journalist Laura Ingraham told James to "Shut up and dribble" as a response to his political agendas.[12] This largely contributed to James creating a documentary series looking at the changing role of athletes in the current political and cultural climate, aptly named, Shut Up and Dribble on Showtime.[13]
