LeBron James is being sued.
Screenwriter Rob Grabow is filing a lawsuit against LeBron’s film company, SpringHill, as well as Netflix and others.
The lawsuit states that they stole Grabow’s idea from his script as the base of the movie “Rez Ball.”
Netflix’s “Rez Ball” film - released in Sept 2024 - follows a high school basketball team of Native American heritage that faces its biggest challenge yet.
In the lawsuit, Grabow asserted that he shared the idea for his own movie script entitled “The Gift of the Game” with Netflix and LeBron - and felt they ripped off his idea for their movie.
The 2 stories have very similar plot, themes, dialogue, and characters, the lawsuit stated.
Netflix, James, and SpringHill haven’t responded yet, but keep an eye on what happens with this lawsuit moving forward.

姆斯的电影公司跟Netflix被一个叫Rob Grabow的编剧告。
理由是他觉得姆斯的电影<Rez Ball>剽窃了他的剧本。
原告的声明说他有跟Netflix还有姆斯分享他的剧本概念，而Rez Ball 最终呈现的情节、人物跟对话都跟他剧本相似。
而姆斯跟Netflix目前都没回应。
