HBO’s “The Shop,” which is produced by LeBron James and business partner Maverick Carter, premiered Tuesday night with the Los Angeles Lakers forward surrounded in the barbershop setting by other athletes and entertainers.
Joined by Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., Candace Parker of the Sparks, comedians Jerrod Carmichael and Jon Stewart, rapper Snoop Dogg, and Michael Bennett of the Philadelphia Eagles, James and Carter drove a discussion that touched on a wide array of topics.
Among them were social injustices that James has decided to use his platform to speak out on, double standards for athletes, and raising children.
