LeBron James disputes idea that he chose Lakers for business reasons

Since joining the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency, LeBron James has seen quite a few of his Hollywood projects get green-lit, from a TV show called “The Shop,” to a documentary titled “Shut Up and Dribble.” Most recently, James and his production company officially announced that he will star in a follow up to the movie “Space Jam.”

All of those projects dropping in such quick succession after his decision to sign with the Lakers have only served as more fuel for jokes and theories that James only chose to come to Los Angeles for business reasons, but he told Marisa Guthrie of The Hollywood Reporter that such ideas couldn’t be further from the truth.
