In episode 4 of the first season of Survivor’s Remorse, Cam Calloway begins to take meetings with shoe companies, with a lot of parallels to the negotiations that an 18-year old LeBron James went through with Adidas, Nike, and Reebok. But instead of Reebok, the modern take on it in the show, made in 2014, has been replaced by Under Armour, who give Cam and Reggie a check for $10 million at the end of their meetings. As we know thanks to Brian Windhorst’s book LeBron Inc., the $10 million check is a real story from LeBron’s life, with Reebok giving one to him and his mother.
However, Cam’s cousin Reggie insists that Cam waits for Nike, and a fictional upstart Chinese brand named Da Chen Bao.
In a parallel storyline as Cam is trying to figure out which shoe company is the best for him, Reggie Vaughn, Cam’s manager/agent, is going to a Black-owned country club to try to become a member at the behest of his wife Missy. The country club scene also features a hilarious cameo from TNT’s Ernie Johnson.
