According to ESPN The Magazine, Ice Cube and his CubeVision production company is partnering with LeBron James to produce a TV show based on James’ high school life as a teen aged basketball celebrity… The currently untitled show is described as “Friday Night Lights-meets-Entourage,” and will follow an inner-city 15 year-old prep star who is transplanted to a small town school and forced to come of age while dealing with media pressure, shady agents and the jealousy of his friends.
“It’s a grounded character study of teenage life in small town America, but it‚Äôs also an exploration of the American Dream and the wish-fulfillment aspect of what his life has become,” said Matt Alvarez, President of CubeVision, who pitched the concept and is also an executive producer on the show.”
Ice Cube has been busy ramping up TV and movie production under CubeVision including a sitcom based on police life for NBC and his upcoming comedy Janky Promoters co-starring Mike Epps and featuring Young Jeezy.

I think Cube's vision for everything he touches will turn to gold. This up and coming movie telling King James' story has the Midas touch. Everyone, who is anyone is interested in Lebron James because of his phenominal basketball exploits. He is fantastic, and Ice Cube is remarkable in his own right.
More power to you, brothers!
