LeBron James’ latest venture is an animated series that will air on the Internet this spring.
The series, called “The LeBrons” will air on YouTube and James’ website, lebronjames.com.
The characters will be based on a series of Nike commercials that involved James as four versions of himself: Kid LeBron; Athlete LeBron ; Business LeBron; and Wise LeBron.
According to reports, the first season of “The LeBrons,” will consist of 10 episodes of five to six minutes each, starting with the world of 16-year-old Kid LeBron and his life in Akron, Ohio.
The animated show will be produced by James’ production company, Spring Hill Productions, and Believe Entertainment Group. Believe Entertainment has helped develop shows like “Family Guy.”
The series has already snagged corporate sponsors, including Hewlett-Packard and Intel, and some proceeds from the show will be used to purchase computers for Boys & Girls Clubs of America. –torrance stephens
