Based on [=LeBron=]'s childhood and taking place in his hometown Akron, Ohio, it is about a family of four versions of himself. The four [=LeBrons=] are:

* Athlete, the basketball player
* Business (also known as "Biz"), the suave businessman
* Wise, the oldest of the family
In every episode, the family has a stunning misadventure, and later either learns a [[AnAesop moral lesson]] or demonstrates a lesson to kids, a la ''FatAlbertAndTheCosbyKids''.
It has lasted for 10 episodes so far. Some people presumed the show has ended after the tenth episode, but the producers said they are working on the second season.
This series may count as WesternAnimation, since [[AnimationBump its animation is a lot more detailed than other webtoons]].
