LeBron James Reportedly Getting His Own Documentary Series Inspired by Michael Jordan's "The Last Dance"

LeBron James and Michael Jordan have long been at the center of the debate for the greatest basketball player of all time. Now, LeBron may be creating a parallel to the Bulls legend's career off the court as well.

According to anonymous industry insiders, the 'King' and ESPN are close to finalizing an agreement for their own documentary series, which is expected to follow the successful format of "The Last Dance." The ten-part Jordan documentary shed light on the Chicago Bulls' legendary 1997/98 season and their final championship run with Jordan.

Discussions are reportedly in their decisive phase. The plan is for a camera crew to follow LeBron during his time with the Philadelphia 76ers.

The 41-year-old recently made headlines when he moved to the 76ers after eight years with the Los Angeles Lakers. The superstar signed a two-year contract worth a meager eight million US dollars, including a player option for the second season.

The planned documentary is said to not only provide current behind-the-scenes insights but also include previously unreleased archival footage from James' extraordinary career. NBA teams have been filming him with cameras since his rookie year.

Details regarding the financial terms or a potential release date are not yet known. ESPN and James' management have not commented on the reports.

The eternal GOAT debate between LeBron James and Michael Jordan is likely to come back into focus with the planned documentary. While "The Last Dance" generated worldwide enthusiasm in 2020 and won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series, James' exceptional career could now also be told from a new perspective.
