King James
All the time we have invested. In him. All the money. All the games we went to. The basis of our entire friendship ... LeBron for the win. LeBron for the win ... The fortunes of the Cavaliers are about to change: the great LeBron James, the biggest star in basketball, is coming to Cleveland. But when superfan Matt's latest business venture turns sour, he has to sell his most prized possession: his pair of Cavs season tickets. The buyer, Shawn, just sold his first short story - so watching his team in the flesh for the first time will be a sweet reward. Now just to figure out what to do with that second ticket ... Thrown together by chance, the next twelve years prove as defining, dramatic, and sometimes heart-breaking for Matt and Shawn as they do for the Cavs - and for 'King' Lebron James. Multi-award-winner Rajiv Joseph offers a play-by-play look at how friendship and supporting a team intersect. His plays include the Obie Award-winning Describe the Night, Guards at the Taj, and his Pulitzer Prize-finalist Broadway play Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo.
