Lebron James' Basketball Comedy Finds a Director

Way back in September, I lamented the idea that someday I would be forced to watch NBA star and self annointed "Global Icon" Lebron James star as himself in a movie. A comedy no less. The film, titled Fantasy Basketball Camp would be about five old buddies who attend a Lebron James fantasy camp, then proceed to entangle the athlete in their own personal lives....to hilarious results.  The film was being produced by Brian Grazer, and is being housed at Universal.

The only thing missing was a director, but apparently that has changed as Malcom D. Lee has signed to helm the comedy. Lee is best known for his 2002 Eddie Griffin comedy, Undercover Brother. That film is still hilarious to this day and features the hottest Denise Richards evah! However, Lee drew my ire with the flat out awful Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins. He also directed the final film of the late great Bernic Mac, Soul Men, which was actually pretty darn funny.

Fantasy Basketball Camp's script apparently needing some punching up, as Peter Stenfield has also been brought aboard to draft a new one.
