LeBron James and SpringHill Company face copyright lawsuit over film similarities

LeBron James and his production company, SpringHill, are facing a lawsuit from filmmaker Rob Grabow for copyright infringement. Grabow claims that James' film "Rez Ball" closely resembles his own idea for a movie about a Native American basketball player. Grabow alleges that he shared his concept with Netflix, which led to James creating "Rez Ball." He points to significant similarities in plot, characters, and themes between his work, titled "The Gift of the Game," and James' film. The lawsuit was filed in California federal court, and Grabow is seeking unspecified damages. Netflix has not yet commented on the lawsuit.
