LeBron James and 'Uninterrupted' Creating Docuseries on Houston Astros Cheating Scandal

In this life without nearly all of our sports (albeit temporarily), fans have been taking in the tremendous ESPN docuseries, "The Last Dance," which covers the final years of the Michael Jordan-Chicago Bulls dynasty. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has surely witnessed the success of the 10-part documentary set to conclude this weeknd, and has decided to jump on the bandwagon and produce an ambitious one of his own.

The media company James co-owns with Maverick Carter, Uninterrupted, is producing a docuseries about the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal. The documentary is set to be titled "Sign Language," and will be distributed through short-form media platform Quibi.

“The documentary will transcend the baseball diamond to explore larger themes of greed, cheating, corruption, sportsmanship and social media activism,” Quibi said in a press release, via the Houston Chronicle. "Sign Language will be the definitive documentary about the scandal that rocked America's pastime."

Quibi says that the series will be directed by Julia Willoughby Nason and Jenner Furst, who both produced the hit Hulu documentary, "Fyre Fraud" about the disastrous Fyre Festival in 2017. The expectation is that Uninterrupted will use high-profile athletes and reporters to discuss the impact the scandal had on the entire sports world.

This past year, the Astros were investigated by Major League Baseball over allegations of using cameras and television monitors to steal opposing teams' pitching signs, which they relayed using trash can bangings -- among other methods -- during their 2017 World Series championship season. The MLB ultimately found that the Astros were guilty of cheating, but handed the organization a relative slap on the wrist in the form of one-year suspensions of manager AJ Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow, a loss of draft capital, and a $5 million fine.

Zero currently active players faced any punishment.

Commissioner Rob Manfred faced major backlash for refusing to take any action toward vacating the Astros' 2017 World Series title, calling the championship trophy a "piece of metal."

Not only were MLB players and fans irate, but so was LeBron.

You can tell from his tweet that James was passionate about this scandal. This passion is sure to animate this upcoming documentary series, to say the least.
