Earlier this month, SHOWTIME Sports revealed that LeBron James will be an executive producer on an upcoming project called ‘Shut Up and Dribble’.
The three-part documentary series is set to debut on Showtime later this year in October and now we have a sneak preview of what to expect in the upcoming series as the first official trailer was released on Thursday.
The three-part documentary will go inside the powerful evolution of NBA athletes over the years. Here’s more from the official press release from Showtime.
The controversy serves as a prologue to the series as it chronicles the modern history of the NBA and its players, starting with the 1976 merger of the freewheeling ABA and the more conventional NBA. The league soon became an incubator for many of its top athletes to grow their brands beyond the court, becoming powerful players in commerce and fashion, and transcending the game to become cultural icons. SHUT UP AND DRIBBLE charts this evolution through the experience of basketball players, who by taking control of their own destinies have helped to bring about social change and make their own statements din the current political climate.
