When LeBron James decided to take his talents to Los Angeles, it was widely believed the driving motive behind his decision to sign with the Lakers wasn’t basketball.
At 33 years old, James will likely retire in a Lakers uniform, and once his illustrious basketball career is over, he plans on starring in and producing movies with SpringHill Entertainment, the production company he co-founded with his longtime friend Maverick Carter in 2015.
While James has already appeared in roles in both television and film, all of his roles to date have been James playing himself, with his most notable credit being “Trainwreck,” a comedy directed by Judd Appatow (“The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” “Knocked Up”) and written by prominent standup comic Amy Schumer, who also starred in the film.
