LeBron James wants to know how he can keep giving players a sаy.
People was the only ones who saw a trailer for Friday’s episode of Uninterrupted’s The Shop. In it, the 37-year-old Lakers star says, “We’ve gone so long without being heard.” How can I give us a voice and power?”
The trailer shows that Maverick Carter, Lisa Leslie, Draymond Green, a veteran of the Golden State Warriors, and NBA winner P.J. Tucker will be James’ guests on the show. Behind Green’s strong message, the group talks about how Serena Williams changed society. “Serena not only showed wоmen what was possible. Serena changed culture,” he adds.
Move over, NBA stars. LeBron James, Kevin Love, and Draymond Green now have their own pickleball teams.
The video was shot in the new LeBron James Innovation Center at Nike’s World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. It talks about parenting as a professional athlete, wedding guest lists and crashers, NBA players’ support for the WNBA, how to develop a “dawg mentality,” and Serena Williams’s effect on culture. James also talks about one of his biggest achievements as an athlete.
Tucker talks about his championship-winning season with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021. “I know what I do better than anybody, so I chose Milwaukee, that was hand-picked,” he shares.
“I’ve been married to basketball, but once I had my daughter I knew it’s a sacrifice,” Leslie, 50, tells the group. “I picked my daughter.”
Friday’s episode starts with the show’s signature opening: host Maverick Carter and Paul Rivera raise a glass to Grey Goose as a sponsor. This was the first time that The Shop taped in front of real people.
