Drake and Lebron James
Billy Hunter, a former executive director of the NBA Players Association and a federal prosecutor, has sued LeBron James, Drake, and their corporate entities The Springhill Company, Uninterrupted Canada, and Dreamcrew Entertainment for $10 million over the upcoming hockey documentary “Black Ice”.
A string of top-notch sports-related movies have been made by LeBron James and his production business, SpringHill Company. Their most recent release was “Hustle,” a story about a person making it into the NBA, which starred Adam Sandler and Juancho Hernangomez. One of their upcoming undertakings is a film on ice hockey that rapper Drake will also co-produce. A former NBPA executive, who claims he is the only one with the legal right to create a movie on the Colored Hockey League that “Black Ice” seeks to explore, has sued LeBron and Drake, which has put the duo in a major bind in their quest to finish the project.
The face of the NBA- Lebron James
LeBron James stands out as an example of a player who has been extremely successful for more than 20 years and is currently competing for the title of greatest NBA player of all time. He has received four MVP titles overall, four Finals MVP awards, and four NBA championships. For 17 consecutive NBA seasons, the two-time Olympic champion averaged 25 points or more per game. James, an NBA record-tying three-time All Star MVP, played in 18 of them and is the All-Star Game’s all-time leading scorer. With 37062 points, James is second all-time in scoring, only behind Kareem Abdul Jabbar. In terms of triple-doubles among active players, he is only surpassed by Russell Westbrook.
In an effort to close the achievement gap in education in his Ohio hometown of Akron, James, who is also a philanthropist, launched the “I Promise School” through the LeBron James Family Foundation and Akron Public Schools. The programme provides resources and support to children who might not be on track to graduate from high school. James stated in 2015 that Kent State University students who completed certain academic requirements would get free tuition to the University of Akron when the university joined the programme. According to a recent ranking, Lebron, who has a $1 billion lifetime deal with Nike, is the second-richest athlete in the world (behind his hero Michael Jordan).
The lawsuit against Drake and Bron
Billy Hunter, a former NBA executive director, has filed a lawsuit, along with LeBron’s business partner Maverick Carter and Future, asking for a portion of the movie’s revenues as well as $10 million in damages. Hunter hinted that even if LeBron James, Drake, and Maverick Carter [LeBron’s business partner] are defendants, they do not have the authority to infringe on another’s intellectual property despite their international popularity including the basketball and music industries. A few days have only passed since LeBron James and Drake invested in a minority stake in the Italian football club AC Milan.
It is difficult to predict the potential legal consequences of this case for both men. In the event that Hunter prevails in court, there is a good likelihood that LeBron and Drake will be required to take part in all proceedings to attempt to settle the dispute. A potential settlement between the petitioner and the two defendants would be the more likely result. They both would find this circumstance to be a huge inconvenience given their lives, therefore they would want to get beyond this bump in the road as quickly as they can.
