This season could be LeBron James’ “last dance” in the NBA. Shortly after signing with the Philadelphia 76ers, James is reportedly in talks to launch a “The Last Dance” style documentary series, according to The Athletic.

Negotiations between James and ESPN are at the “one-yard line,” per The Athletic. The financial details of a possible agreement are not known at this time. Both ESPN and a representative for James declined comment when reached by The Athletic.
If the deal reaches the finish line, a camera crew will follow James around during his next season with the 76ers. The documentary will also reportedly pull footage from all of James’ career. Since he was a phenom in high school, there should be plenty of clips to pull from, including some that have never been released publicly before, according to The Athletic.
There is, however, some uncertainty on when the documentary would air. While James said the 76ers were his “last decision,” the 41-year-old signed a two-year deal with his new franchise. It’s unclear if James will play both years with the 76ers or if he intends to retire after the 2026-27 NBA season. It would be an easy decision to make, as James has a player option at the end of the year.
Presumably, James’ decision would impact when the documentary airs. While it could be interesting to get an in-depth look at James’ first season in Philadelphia, it would be far more impactful to watch James’ final season in the NBA.
