Now this a good hearts sory for th kids to enjoy like Shaq Daddy going H-hood. Nothing like seeing good enterntainment that peple can get a laugh with and talk around the water cooler at work. Young blacktop baller makes it big and gets alot of money for entertaining people. This is a very interesting project and I cannot wait to view. Are they gonna include the Hummer story?

agree with your sarcasm bond.....

I think they'll leave the Hummer and where the money came from out of it.

It's a nice idea for a show. I wonder - will the guy that plays the young LeBron end up being the next LeBron in real life ??

Jesus Shuttlesworth part II?

It's amazing to me that some people either don't get pictures on T&R from the 21st century or get ones that aren't them...... yet Lebron gets a picture from last night. Wow...

And actually, he's probably one of the few athletes I'd pay to see act... Greg Oden's commercial, while funny as hell, points out that he and Shaq both have flat affects...... no life in them. Just boring..

Since the guy is only 23 years old has he had enough dramatic events in his life to sustain a television series based on said dramas?

OK, eighteen year old kid becomes a multimillionaire. Check.

Decision to choose Nike over Reebok. Check.

Idiotic comments to grown ups about wanting to become a global icon, whatever the h*e* double hockey sticks that is. Check.

What else? That's only three episodes.....

Oh, wait, I thought of a fourth episode!

That nutty day LBJ wore his Yankees lid to an Indians game!

Yeah, that one has Emmy all over it!

good for him

Shouldn't he be focusing on making the Cavaliers win?

This could actually be a good story, but I'd love to see it about someone besides an athlete. Too many young African-American males see only sports as an avenue out of poverty. Let's see something about Obama's childhood, or maybe Colin Powell's. Black males need role models besides athletes.

He's NOT a NEGATIVE TYPE of person so why NOT regardless if he is an ATHLETE or NOT

I thought it was from last night also but just saw that picture in another article.

(FYI above article is about LBJ signing an extension early.)
That picture is from the 10th or 12th against the 76ers I think that is Dalembert. The cavs have worn that alt. jersey a few times already this year

Good catch... it does look like he's up over the supposed human pogo stick.... could make a poster off that. Gotta say I like those more than their blue alt....

Because I'm a teacher, and the only way almost all African-American males think they'll "make it" is as an athlete. Most place no value on education because they think they're going to be a professional athlete. When that dream is over, or even if they're good enough to play in college but don't have the grades, what happens then?
