Despite the fact the pandemic delayed or canceled the opening of many films 2020, James was simply excited to wrap up filming in 2019 and fulfill his dream of following in Jordan’s gigantic footsteps.


“I’m just a small kid from Akron, Ohio — a very small town outside of Cleveland. From a single-parent household, I’m the only child, my mother had absolutely nothing,” James said then, according to Complex. “She was walking around high school when she was 16 years old and she was pregnant with me as a high school sophomore. So, I’m really not supposed to be here.”
