series called “Cleveland Hustles.”

James and Carter will get assistance from business experts,
who will invest in and mentor the entrepreneurs. The goal is for the four
fledgling businesses to create local jobs.

It’s the latest entertainment venture for the Cavaliers
star. James appeared as himself in Amy Schumer’s comedy “Trainwreck”
last summer and recently signed a movie development deal with Warner Bros.

James’ SpringHill Entertainment company produces
“Survivor’s Remorse” on Starz about a young basketball star, his
family and friends and the pressure and excitement of a lucrative career. He
also produces a show called “Becoming” on Disney XD.
