LeBron James and four more NBA megastars are set to feature in Netflix’s ‘Starting 5’. The series focuses on the backend of their lives, their daily routine, and how they prepare for the grueling NBA season. However, while the King is thoroughly charged with his own show, he is also looking forward to a project that comes next year. It’s a well-tested cinematic partnership that features Michael B. Jordan as the protagonist.

Renowned director Ryan Coogler returns as the maker, but this time it’s his own tale. Previously, he and Jordan have worked together on the Creed and Black Panther movie series. However, their latest project, named ‘Sinners’ takes on a completely different challenge. Set around the story of “a greater evil”, the celebrated actor will dive into a unique dual role. The ravishing showman embraces such unconventional challenges. And the anticipation has already built up.

“Can’t wait!!” LeBron James expressed in his Instagram stories with flame emojis splattered.

In terms of their personal relationship, James and Jordan share a close bond. The Black Panther star has called the Akron Hammer the ‘GOAT’ of all sports previously. Furthermore, during the NBA’s 75th anniversary, they collaborated on a fun skit together. Likewise, the Lakers forward has also enamored Michael B. Jordan for his flawless depiction skills.

‘Sinners’ tells the story of twin brothers who return to their old town to escape their difficult lives. The gripping story revolves around a heinous “devil” that brings violence and carnage to their home. The short trailer gave a peak into the story that has been in the works since January and will hit the TV screens on March 7, 2025.

LeBron James is among the millions probably awaiting the film’s arrival.

Michael B. Jordan and LeBron James could be partners soon

LeBron James has spoken several times about dreaming of owning an NBA franchise one day. Guess who else shares the dream? Michael B. Jordan himself. Apart from being a superstar, the 36-year-old is a well-established entrepreneur. He has a diverse sports portfolio with investments in teams such as the Premier League’s AFC Bournemouth and FI’s Alpine Racing.

However, his passion has always been basketball and his community. That’s one of the reasons he began the Legacy Classic for HBCU universities. Through the program, underserved athletes get a chance to showcase their basketball talents in nationally televised games on TNT.

“How do I give these kids an opportunity” was what ultimately led him to the idea of fostering such an event. LeBron James too has done his share of work to uplift his hometown of Akron. His I Promise initiative provides free education to thousands of students and stresses the importance of education.

Despite being separated by professions, their goals and ambitions seem to align. Through their common ideologies, they have cultivated a great bond. Recently, there was news that LeBron James, through his investment in FSG could soon own an NBA franchise. RedBird Capital is set to be part of the deal. They previously partnered with Jordan in his investment in the F1 world and also purchased SpringHill, James’ production company. While it’s a far cry, maybe he will be part of the NBA ownership group that the King will surely one day lead.

The connections are there, and their minds work in a common direction. Furthermore, Jordan has experience in cultivating a ‘culture’ through sports teams through his various investments. Would you like to see them join hands in such a venture? Let us know your views in the comments below.
