Before LeBron James’ $725 Million Success, Stephen Curry Tried His Hand in Hollywood but Failed in 2019

Regardless of what happens on the court, LeBron James has kept his business separate from his exploits on court. His entertainment venture, Springhill Entertainment has been highly successful and recently it was valued at $725 Million. LeBron has been highly successful in the entertainment industry, but the fate has not been so favorable for other NBA superstars. In fact, Stephen Curry also tried his hand in Hollywood in 2019 but ultimately failed.

LeBron started Springhill entertainment in 2007 with his close friend and business partner Maverick Carter. The two friends started multiple other companies in the same field and they still command all of them in 2022. LeBron James and Maverick Carter established the Springhill company in 2020. They have been part of several successful projects and one of them includes ‘The Shop’.

The Springhill company has been very successful and its market value has risen over the years. A report from October suggests that the company is worth $725 million at the moment. They made a deal with a New York firm which led to them acquiring a stake in the company. The company has high hopes for the future and analysts suggest major growth.

LeBron has been highly successful in his venture but his fellow co-stars have not had the same luck. A few years ago, his longtime rival and friend Stephen Curry wanted to produce a Hollywood show.

The four-time champ wanted to team up with Will Arnett and was set to be an executive producer of a new sitcom at Fox, back in 2019. The show was to be titled ‘The Second Half’ and it was set to follow a retired NBA player. It was designed to follow a retired player through Charlotte and his new adventures in business.

But to date, the show has never materialized. In fact, it never went into production and it is highly unlikely it ever will. Not everyone can become as successful as LeBron in the entertainment field and Curry learned that the hard way. Still, there are several athletes who are venturing into this space and they would hope to follow in LeBron’s footsteps.
