On Thursday morning, The Athletic's Andrew Marchand reported that NBA great LeBron James and ESPN are “closing in” on a deal for a behind-the-scenes docuseries—similar to the Michael Jordan-focused series The Last Dance—that would chronicle the final chapter of the 41-year-old’s legendary career.
To do this, the belief is that James will have a camera crew following him around during his one- to two-year stint in Philadelphia (though Rich Paul has hinted it could conceivably go longer), where he signed as a free agent less than a week ago. The series is also expected to use footage from earlier in the King’s career, some of which will be brand-new to the public.
