With plenty of iconic moments in Lebron James’ two-decade career to choose from, The Athletic has announced a new podcast series breaking down the best. A King’s Reign will look back at the NBA superstar’s on-court accomplishments and his impact off the court, including his philanthropic work, media and sports ownership portfolio, and his association with international brands like Nike. The 12-episode series will debut this summer on The Athletic NBA Show feed.
The Athletic’s Executive Producer of Narrative Podcasts Mike Smeltz said, “Listeners will go deeper on all the iconic moments from LeBron’s career, guided by first-person perspectives from The Athletic’s journalists who covered him, and the players, coaches, and executives who competed with and against LeBron. A King’s Reign looks at more than what makes LeBron a legendary basketball player. The series spreads out into all the fields that LeBron himself has — entertainment, philanthropy, internet culture and business — and detailing why the kid from Akron has become the king of basketball.”
