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.

姆斯的電影公司跟Netflix被一個叫Rob Grabow的編劇告。
理由是他覺得姆斯的電影<Rez Ball>剽竊了他的劇本。
原告的聲明說他有跟Netflix還有姆斯分享他的劇本概念，而Rez Ball 最終呈現的情節、人物跟對話都跟他劇本相似。
而姆斯跟Netflix目前都沒回應。
