While LeBron will be busy shooting the Space Jam sequel in the coming weeks, he’ll still be putting in the work for his day job. NBA superfan and real estate mogul James Goldstein recently posted some photos and videos the “Club James” training facility, which will be used by LeBron and other NBA stars in between shoots this summer.
The court, located on Goldstein’s sprawling estate, features a jaw-dropping backdrop along with sprawling views the city, as seen in the posts embedded below.
According to a recent report by The Hollywood Reporter, LeBron’s family arc will play a central role in Space Jam 2.
Per THR:
“Those familiar with the script say Space Jam 2 will rely less heavily on a Dream Team hoops luminaries than the Michael Jordan-led film, which saw more than a dozen real-life NBA stars cameo and grossed $231 million worldwide, not adjusted for inflation. Instead, LeBron’s family arc is key, with a yet-to-be-cast teen character named Dom as the second lead, sources say.”
Space Jam 2 will reportedly hit heaters on July 16, 2021.
