In addition to playing for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA, LeBron James is also busy off the court. Over the years, he has become a businessman while starring in the Space Jam movies and producing a few documentaries and talk shows.
One of those shows is TNF in the Shop, which is returning for a second season on Amazon Prime and will premiere on Thursday, October 12th. The four-time NBA champion and all-time scoring leader revealed the show’s return on Instagram.
In an Instagram Story announcing the second season of TNF in the Shop alongside Paul Rivera and Maverick Carter, James said:
“We’re back.”
On “TNF in the Shop” (Thursday Night Football), LeBron James, executive producer Maverick Carter and show co-creator Paul Rivera welcome guests to talk about the NFL season (“The King” Played in high school football).
“We have a lot of fun. We love talking about football — and it shows. LeBron, Marv and I joke that if Amazon wasn’t our partner and there weren’t stores, we’d still be doing this. Just in “The conversation was pretty much the same,” Rivera told Front Desk Sports.
“He understands football to a level that I’ve never seen before. So that’s always interesting to me. To see him in this element, which is an element that people don’t see him in. Just seeing that His genius and his beautiful heart.” LeBron James — off the basketball court — surrounds his other passion for football, and it’s pretty cool to see up close. “
When did LeBron James first join the “In the Shop” program?
This isn’t the first time LeBron James has appeared on “in The Shop.” In fact, this will be his sixth year on the show and second in its current format.
Back in 2017, LeBron James, Maverick Carter, and Paul Rivera created Shop: Nonstop. There they invited people from different sports as well as actors, singers and producers to discuss various topics while getting their hair cut in the barbershop.
The show was originally part of the HBO streaming platform and later moved to YouTube. The show aired on HBO and YouTube for five successful seasons, with multiple guests joining the show.
Likewise, TNF in the Shop became a successful show, which is why Amazon decided to bring it back for a second season.
In the meantime, LeBron James is preparing for his 21st season in the NBA with only a fifth championship in mind. James and the Lakers started training camp earlier this week and are preparing for the start of the regular season.
In the opener on Tuesday, October 24, they will face the defending champion Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena.
