LeBron James to produce CBS competition series, 'Million Dollar Mile' with $1M grand prize

When LeBron James decided to join the Lakers earlier this summer, many postulated that his off-court interests were a major motivational factor. So far, James has done nothing to dissuade that notion. On Monday news broke of a James-produced Showtime documentary series called, "Shut Up and Dribble," and on Tuesday CBS announced that James will serve as executive producer for a new competition series tentatively titled, "Million Dollar Mile."
The show will shut down the streets of a major city and build a custom course which the contestants will have to traverse in order to get to the grand prize waiting for them at the other end: $1 million. It's not as easy as it sounds, however, as the course will be "the most challenging course ever designed" and contestants will also have to face "a group of elite athletes" trying to prevent them from winning the money, according to the press release.
Basically just imagine "The Amazing Race," "American Ninja Warrior" and MTV's "The Challenge" had a baby who emerged from the womb holding a kettle bell. The show will be presented by "Big Brother" executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan with Fly on the Wall Entertainment, along with James and Maverick Carter with SpringHill Entertainment.

A million dollars ain’t much after taxes. Lebron can do better.

Being an EP is pretty straightforward stuff. You say yes you like this, no you don't like this, and you put up some money.

Sounds like that baby also has some American Gladiators in it as well.

If this is the case, I'll give it a shot.

Give me this. With less of the US version where the majority of the show time is taken up with emotional backstories.

The part of gladiators where you had to get to the mountain while they shot tennis balls at you or whatever was always my favorite event. The gauntlet, maybe?
Anyway, we used to do that in our back yard with the neighborhood kids. A few of us would stand on ladders and throw shite at you while you hid behind lawn chairs and whatnot.

Considering how emotional and dramatic Lebron is, I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

Actually if you won 1mill in LA for thr show, after taxes you clear $544,210. While Id take 500k in a heartbeat, Id say the guys comment was pretty spot on when you consider that 45% was taken away right away.
