LeBron James to document his career after absence from Jordan's series

Summary

LeBron James is set to star in a new documentary series chronicling his career after being intentionally excluded from Michael Jordan's 'The Last Dance'. It comes as he signs a two-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, aiming for one last title run alongside Joel Embiid. Director Jason Hehir excluded James to maintain the documentary's focus on the 1990s Chicago Bulls and avoid a GOAT debate, given James never competed against Jordan. Fans can expect a camera crew to follow James extensively for his forthcoming project.
