Of all the things I never really wanted to see Lebron James do, acting is probably at the top of the list. I don't really want to see him play basketball, either, but that's easily avoidable. I've got the parental controls on my cable box set to "No Egotists". The "global icon" an all around sore loser will make his feature starring debut in a new comedy called Fantasy Basketball Camp. What the hell kinda weak ass title is that? Space Camp was one thing. Fantasy Basketball Camp sounds like a working title, not a finished product. I wonder if the Boy Wonder made it up himself in between shunning fan sessions.
The story, which is being handled by uber-producer Brian Grazer, revolves around a bunch of hapless dudes who attend Lebron's fantasy basketball camp in Las Vegas, in hopes of living out their dreams. As often happens when you attend one of these celebrity retreats, Lebron gets mixed up in the personal issues of these guys, some of them funny but some more serious.
I wonder if the film tanks if he'll hold a press conference condeming Universal Pictures, all the while wearing a Dreamworks t-shirt and ballcap.
