LeBron James might have to wait a while before getting his own 10-part Netflix docuseries.

Instead, the NBA scoring king will reportedly be a part of a new project where Netflix follows the journeys of five NBA players in a similar format of "Quarterback."

Shams Charania of The Athletic reported on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday that the streaming service is developing the docuseries around James, Jayson Tatum, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Edwards and Domantas Sabonis.

According to The Athletic, the four-time champion's SpringHill Company is producing the show along with President Barack Obama's Higher Ground Productions. Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions, which was a part of the "Quarterback" series that profiled Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings and Marcus Mariota of the Atlanta Falcons for the 2022 season, is also a part of the NBA project.

There is no title or release date revealed yet for the NBA docuseries. USA TODAY Sports reached out to Netflix about the project and had not heard back at the time of publication.

The NBA series would follow the entertainment platform's success with sports-related content, including the Formula 1 docuseries "Drive to Survive," the USWNT docuseries "Under Pressure" and the 10-part docuseries "The Last Dance," which chronicled Michael Jordan's six titles with the Chicago Bulls.

Here's more about the players who are reportedly featured in the NBA Netflix docuseries:

LeBron James — Los Angeles Lakers

James, widely regarded as the best player in the NBA, is in his 21st year in the league and has been named an All-Star 19 times. He was drafted by his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, after storming the nation at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.

The husband, father, and social justice advocate spent time with the Miami Heat, where he won his first two championships, went back to the Cavaliers and won a title there, and has been on the Los Angeles Lakers since 2018, winning a championship in the 2020 bubble.

Last season, James passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most points in NBA history.

Jayson Tatum — Boston Celtics

Tatum has taken his team to the playoffs in each of his first six seasons, all with the Boston Celtics. He was named the MVP of the 2022 Eastern Conference finals — and fittingly the first recipient of the honor named after Larry Bird — when he had 25.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.1 steals in the seven-game series. The former Duke standout is a four-time All-Star who is averaging 27.5 points per game this season.

Tatum's then 4-year-old son, Deuce, became a "star" during the Celtics' 2022 playoff run.

Jimmy Butler — Miami Heat

Butler is a 13-year veteran who was drafted by the Chicago Bulls and really found his footing when he joined the Miami Heat in 2019. His profile got a boost last season when he led the team to the NBA Finals as the No. 8 seed. He was the Eastern Conference finals MVP after putting up 24.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 2.6 steals per game in the seven-game series.

This season, he's averaging 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game.

Butler is a six-time All-Star who famously sold $20 coffees to his fellow NBA players in the bubble.

Anthony Edwards — Minnesota Timberwolves

The youngest player of the group, Edwards has become the face of the Minnesota Timberwolves following in the footsteps of Kevin Garnett. The 22-year-old was drafted out of Georgia. He started 55 games his rookie year and has started every game he's played in since.

Last season, he was named to his first All-Star Game and notched 24.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists per outing. This year, he's putting up a career-best 26.2 points and 4.9 assists.

Edwards faced controversy last month when a woman leaked texts of him allegedly telling her to get an abortion. He has been fined for previous incidents, including using homophobic language and swinging a chair after a playoff loss.

Domantas Sabonis — Sacramento Kings

Sabonis was drafted by the Orlando Magic in 2016 and was sent to the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he only spent one season. He then played for the Indiana Pacers, where he was named an All-Star twice.

Sabonis, who plays both power forward and center, joined the Sacramento Kings during the 2021-2022 season and captured another All-Star nod last year when he led the league with 12.3 rebounds per game. This year, he has the most boards of all players again with 12.8 per outing.

The Kings made a splash last season by returning to the playoffs for the first time in 16 seasons, ending the longest playoff drought in the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL.
