SEASON PREMIERE: This is the Season 3 premiere of LeBron James’ exceptional HBO talk show, which basically appears whenever he feels like it. He and Maverick Carter appear in almost every episode, guiding a refreshingly freewheeling and honest talk that always touches on sports, pop culture, money, and music. It takes place in a barbershop, a setting as casual as the conversation, and in this season premiere episode includes such guests as Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes (pictured), Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, and comedian Tiffany Haddish. I didn’t see James in the promos for tonight’s episode – but I did see enough, including conversation about Kobe Bryant, to make me eager to watch, as usual.
