Now, James is making yet another big move, this time with WTA star Naomi Osaka, per Yahoo Sports and The Hollywood Reporter.
Tennis superstar Naomi Osaka is getting into the entertainment business, launching a media company in partnership with LeBron James’ and Maverick Carter’s The SpringHill Company.
As detailed in The Hollywood Reporter, Osaka and her longtime agent and business partner Stuart Duguid are behind the production banner, which is called Hana Kuma.
Osaka is launching a media company in a partnership with James and Carter. The WTA star and her agent and business partner Stuart Duguid are the leaders of the production company, called Hana Kama, which translates to ‘flower bear' in Japanese.
