First Look: Shut Up And Dribble Teaser Trailer

Directed by Gotham Chopra (Tom vs. Time, Kobe Bryants Muse), Shut Up And Dribble takes its title from conservative pundit Laura Ingrahams remarks to James in February after players from the Golden State Warriors declined an invitation to the White House after the 2018 NBA Finals. The controversy serves as a prologue to the series as it chronicles the modern history of the NBA and its players, starting with the 1976 merger of the freewheeling ABA and the more conventional NBA.

Watch the teaser below.
