“King” LeBron James’s years playing in Cleveland brings promise, prosperity, and renewal to a city in desperate need of all three.

It also brings together two unlikely friends in a bond forged by fandom. 

Told over twelve years (from LeBron’s rookie season to an NBA Championship), King James is an intimate exploration of the place sports occupy in our lives and relationships. 

Rajiv Joseph’s clever and fast-paced comedy traces the arcs of two friends whose turbulent relationship is best navigated through their shared love of basketball.
