LeBron James Teams Up With Starz for New Sitcom

LeBron James is on board for a new Starz sitcom called "Survivor's Remorse." The Miami Heat baller will executive produce the half-hour program, and will be joined by business partner and friend Maverick Carter, along with Tom Werner, the force behind such classics as "The Cosby Show" and "Roseanne." Actor Mike O'Malley will also serve as an executive producer.

The show "will focus on two people who make it big after getting out of Philadelphia’s inner city and will chronicle the characters as they try to adjust to that fame along with feelings of guilt for having made it while peers are still struggling," according to Entertainment Weekly.

In other King James news, the Miami Heat superstar was under scrutiny last month after he received a police escort to a Jay Z concert in Miami.
