LeBron James executive produced new Netflix documentary about Naomi Osaka

LeBron James leads a prominent life on the basketball court for the Los Angeles Lakers as one of the best players in the league, but his work goes beyond the NBA.

James also has a busy life off the court, underscored by the work he’s done to bring “Space Jam: A New Legacy” to fruition.

Along with Space Jam and shows James does frequently, such as “The Shop: Uninterrupted” on HBO, James has helped influential athletes playing different sports tell their stories.

Netflix, the streaming giant, is preparing to release a three-part documentary series detailing the life of tennis star Naomi Osaka. The documentary will dive into Osaka’s life off the tennis court and into what her life is like that many don’t realize.

James shared the trailer for the documentary on his Twitter:

The documentary will be live on July 16 — coincidentally the same day as “Space Jam: A New Legacy” — and James, along with his long-time business partner and friend, Maverick Carter, assisted the show’s production as executive producers.
