A different kind of March Madness is bringing basketball to the stage. From Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph, King James is a funny, heartfelt look at loyalty and ambition, and celebrates the connections that keep us going. Matt and Shawn, two Clevelanders, forge an unlikely connection over their shared passion for the Cleveland Cavaliers and rising basketball star LeBron James. Spanning 12 years, their friendship is shaped by the triumphs and challenges of both fandom and life itself.
