A CELEBRATION OF FRIENDSHIP AND FANDOM
LeBron James was just the hero Cleveland needed. Over twelve years, from Lebron’s rookie season to an NBA Championship, Matt and Shawn eat, sleep, and dream their love of basketball while forging a deep bond over their worship of the “King”. From Pulitzer Prize-finalist Rajiv Joseph, this wonderfully funny and remarkably moving new play explores the place that sports occupy in our lives.
