LeBron James being sued over barbershop video idea, report says

The uproar regarding LeBron James and barbershop videos has taken on another layer, and one not flattering to the NBA superstar.

Two weeks ago, James' company sent a cease-and-desist letter to Alabama's athletic department, arguing that Alabama's "Shop Talk" web series featuring Nick Saban and former Crimson Tide players talking about football and life could have infringed on copyrights and intellectual property from James' "The Shop." Saban and Alabama basically ignored the request, and continued to produce the series after re-naming it "Bama Cuts."

On Monday, TMZ Sports reported that James himself and his company "Uninterrupted" is being sued over the video series.
