The animated web series called The Lebrons will debut this Spring on YouTube and Lebron James’ own website and be based on four versions of himself including Kid LeBron, Athlete LeBron, Business LeBron and Wise Lebron. According to the New York Times:
“The LeBrons,” whose first season will consist of 10 episodes of five to six minutes each, will center on the world of 16-year-old Kid LeBron and his life in Akron, Ohio, using authentic locations from that city, where Mr. James was born and raised.
Like a latter-day “Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids,” each episode will convey a message — the value of staying in school, staying off drugs or sticking by your family — while its character design and wry sensibility owe an inspirational debt to “The Boondocks,” the satirical comic strip and television series created by Aaron McGruder.
