DOCUMENTARY SERIES PREMIERE: Part 1 of 3. This multi-part sports documentary series comes from LeBron James, whose off-court, on-TV brilliance already has established itself with his monthly HBO talk show The Shop – which, in gathering athletes and entertainers (white and black, male and female) to a barbershop to talk frankly about sports, race, politics, role models, and other things, has emerged in only two outings as one of the freshest TV talk shows in years. And now comes Shut Up and Dribble, a pointed look at pro and college basketball that touches on many of the same topics probed in The Shop – especially role models, responsibilities, dedication, and race. For a full review, see David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower.
