Kevin Hart and Lebron James Team Up for ‘Ballers’

Forget the pregame ritual of dusting the scorers table, Lebron “The King” James is taking on a new project after winning his coveted second NBA Championship ring. The basketball legend is set to star and exec produce in Universal’s new film Ballers alongside comedian Kevin Hart.

The comedy, whose script will be co-written and also exec produced by Hart, centers around two basketball-playing brothers. James will play the brother who is an NBA superstar, while Hart will play the brother who gets to show off his own skills when he participates in a fantasy basketball camp weekend with friends.
