What happens when you combine the greatest basketball player in the world with the hottest Broadway show of this generation? You get a Hamilton parody entitled LeBron: The Musical. If you love theater and love watching NBA games, you should definitely give up five minutes of your time to see this mashup.
The Cleveland Cavaliers' future Hall of Famer got the musical treatment from an online media company called Dose. In the clip above, James' story is told by stand-ins who play James' Cavaliers teammate Kyrie Irving and his former teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. The thespians in this clip were spot-on, with a chronology of James' career since his days as "The Chosen One" in his St. Mary's-St. Vincent high school basketball uniform. They have him wearing the same exact white suit and Cavaliers hat as the real LeBron wore when he was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, and the show even reenacts "The Decision" when James left the Cavaliers in 2010 to take his talents to South Beach to join the Miami Heat .
If you've ever wondered how basketball would look on Broadway (because—let's be honest—you probably missed this), LeBron: The Musical is your ticket. Bravo!
