LeBron James will be forced to anser the question that has been on all of our minds for the last 13 years-- will any basketball player produce a better film performance than Shaq in Kazaam? Brian Grazer, producer of Eminem's breakout film, 8 mile, is willing to argue in favor of the NBA's latest golden boy.

Brian Grazer gives Variety a little background on why this budding basketball star will be gracing the silver screen as 'himself' in this tasty basketball-related comedy:

"I initially sought LeBron out because my 8-year-old son, Thomas, and I were just dying to meet him, but I felt that beyond being one of the world's great superstar athletes, here was someone so relaxed and comfortable with himself that he would have the capability to be that way onscreen," Grazer said. "Later, when I watched him host 'Saturday Night Live,' and saw his advertising work, it was clear he can do this."

If anyone could bring out a surprise performance from a non-actor, it would be Grazer. But with the premise at hand, things still seem a bit shaky. The comedy follows 5 bros going to the LeBron James Adult Basketball Camp in Vegas, and while there they force the star into their life issues, both serious and silly.This evokes many questions, but most obviously: "Good plot? Or greatest plot of all time?".

Production is slated to start next summer. We'll be watching this one closely. And reluctantly.
