LeBron calls upcoming Ali documentary 'one of my favorite projects'
LeBron James and his production company SpringHill Entertainment have several film and television projects in the works, but there's one that has the Los Angeles Lakers star particularly excited.
As HBO first announced in 2016, James and Maverick Carter will serve as executive producers on a multi-part documentary about the life of Muhammad Ali titled "What's My Name."
The Greatest, like you’ve never seen him before.
