New details about the LeBron James-Ice Cube pilot for ABC have surfaced, ESPN the Magazine reports. The untitled one-hour drama is based on James’ experiences in high school, with a “Friday Night Lights”-meets-“Entourage” feel, as a young basketball superstar deals with transferring schools, teammate jealousy and media attention, the magazine says. The pilot’s script is expected to be completed in the next few weeks, with shooting projected to take place in the spring for a possible premiere next fall, ESPN says.
