Kevin Hart is set to write and star in Ballers, a comedy in which the diminutive standup will play LeBron James’s brother - alongside LeBron. Hart will play “a man who lives in the shadow of his NBA superstar brother (James), but gets a chance to prove himself when he and some pals attend a weekend fantasy basketball camp in Miami.â€
At this point, LeBron’s only acting experience has come in commercials and in ESPN specials, so it’ll be interesting to see what he brings to a full-length movie. It’s something he’s wanted to do for a long time, since being the best basketball player on the planet has apparently gotten a little boring. One thing’s for sure, there will be a lot of jokes about how short Hart is (5’3â€) compared to LeBron (6’8â€).
