[Charania] Timberwolves All-NBA Guard Anthony Edwards…is expected to be the breakaway star of the NBA show on Netflix set to release in the fall. The series also features LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, Jimmy Butler, and Domantas Sabonis. The show is modeled after Netflix’s NFL show ‘Quarterback’.

The show was led in production by LeBron's SpringHill Company, with assistance from Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions and Barack Obama's Higher Ground Productions.

Certainly sounds like this program is shaping up to be an interesting one. Hopefully they can get people to agree to more seasons after this one.

    I like the Barack Obama. But what the fuck does he know about executive producing a TV show

  2. MediocreJay41

    Can’t wait to see all the comments shitting on Sabonis more than everyone already does on here. Smh.

    We just getting ads on the subreddit now?

  6. Netflix is killing it lately with these sport documentaries. Quarterback and Receiver have been really enjoyable.

  7. guacamolereckoning

    Is there going to be a Quarterback season 2 or no?

    They got the NBA champ on this which is pretty cool. They picked everyone last season so the fact that we get to witness the championship run is cool. Especially for Celtics fans.

  9. Hopefully this will help shine a light on lesser known NBA players who haven’t gotten a ton of spotlight in their careers like this “LeBron James” character.

    kudos to netflix for adding another star player with a personality. that along with Jimmy Buckets makes two.

  11. lets_talk_basketball

    Ja Morant seeing Ant get the “Face of the leauge” stimulus package has to be infuriating

  12. ZoroChopper10

    Need the black Timberwolves throwback for any jersey

    I was literally just thinking the NBA should do something like this. I don’t even watch the NFL but I watched Quarterback and have almost finished Receiver and I’ve really enjoyed them both

  14. im so glad they’re doing one of these for the nba. i barely follow the nfl but really enjoyed Quarterback and Receiver

    i wonder if they go into the playoffs cuz getting to see the behind the scenes from the finals run would be insane

  15. All the Netflix nba content I’ve watched has been great.

    The Last Dance being the best.

    Malice in the Palace and Redeem Team were also great.

    Yes please.

    Wait so it’s being released this fall, was it filmed last season? Or is it like an in-season Hard Knocks type deal like they did with the Dolphins?

  17. Tatum and LeBron seem to be too media managed with their image to be interesting. Butler seems like an eccentric try-hard.
    Edwards and sabonis seem like the 2 normal people that might make good content.

  18. Wtf is this headline? Expected to be the breakaway star of the show? Yeah he probably will be, but how about we let people watch the show and decide for
    Themselves?

  19. lukslopes

    Butler, Lerbon amd Ant are made for shit like this. I don’t know if Domas and Tatum have the right personalities for this though

    I hope in future they add like Banchero, an OKC player or smaller market guys so that they get more shine. Use one big market star to pull viewers in.

    First time it makes sense to stack stars like this so it’s viewed a lot right off the bat.

    They need to do a SNL style skid show that runs parallel to the season, starting comedians, NBA players, and media people.
    Better yet, make it Game of Thrones themed.

  22. Venator850

    TIL famous people have their own production companies lmao.

  23. BoogerSugarSovereign

    Did they make a mistake here how could they forget to list Domantas’ sister as a series star?

  24. RVAIsTheGreatest

    That’s a damn good lineup. Wow. With Ant as the featured star.

    Ant is being positioned as the next Kobe, charismatic confident/cocky ruthless shooting guard and face of the league. He’s a bit unpolished, kinda like Kobe was, until he aged, but that makes him more popular to the casual fan and average fan as well I think.

    The wake left by Drive to Survive is really insane

  26. ericdeben

    I can’t wait for this and the new Celtics documentary

  27. Hulk_Crowgan

    Couldn’t pick a better personality in the league if they tried

  28. DamnImAwesome

    Ok now we need a show following crazy MLB pitchers like Scherzer and Greinke 

  29. I love Sabonis but he is so low key and drama free lol. he has no business being on a tv show. Meanwhile Ant is perfect

  30. tinhatfellow

    This is a good start. The league should lean more heavily into its soap opera aspects. instead of 7 days of “prime time” games each week they should have a day where they air a hard knocks/around the association style show. sell that to a streaming service and leave us the games

  31. here_for_the_lols

    Every sport these days “oh shit we can make money doing this?”

    The world is a beautiful place when you’re a homophobe that doesn’t face any backlash for your bullshit beliefs.

  33. IMovedYourCheese

    Kermit finally getting his time to shine

  34. Zestyclose-Draft-724

    Ahhh yes.

    A documentary to talk about upcoming stars, such as LeBron James.
