Netflix NBA LeBron James Anthony Edwards Domantas Sabonis Jayson Tatum Jimmy Butler Shams Charania

After the success of the Quarterback documentary series on Netflix, the streaming platform is reportedly trying a similar model but for NBA stars.

Netflix has done well in the sports world, producing quality shows like Drive To Survive for F1 and Full Swing for golf. With a rich list of characters set to star in the show about basketball, this upcoming series looks like a lot of fun as well.

According to Shams Charania, the show will spotlight five players during its first season: LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Edwards and Domantas Sabonis.

This yet-to-be-named series is produced by several groups, including the production company founded by James and Maverick Carter, The SpringHill Company. Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions as well as Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions will also produce.

Sources: Netflix is creating a new NBA documentary series modeled after its NFL "Quarterback" show. The five players chosen for first season of the project: LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Edwards and Domantas Sabonis.
