Showtime has just released the trailer for the highly-anticipated docu-series produced by Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. Shut Up and Dribble is not LeBron's first foray into the world of television content production, but this is definitely one of his more socially-relevant projects thus far.

The series' name roots from an insult thrown by U.S. President Donald Trump towards the direction of James, with the head of state once demanding that LeBron James remove himself from the socio-political sphere and instead, just focus on the sport of basketball.

Shut Up and Dribble will focus on how the NBA and its players have gone beyond the confines of the basketball court to make a mark on the societal aspect of the nation.

Renowned Hollywood director Gotham Chopra will be directing this three-part series, and he recently shared the vision they all have for this project.

“It's synchronistic that we are releasing this series three days before the midterm elections and it's my hope that we will contribute to the dialogue that we sorely need in this country about the importance of civic engagement, cultural inclusion, why sports matter (beyond wins and losses), and persistence in the face of struggle,” Chopra said in a release provided to Bleacher Report.

Shut Up and Dribble is set to air its first episode on November 3 at 9PM E.T.

Here's a look at the epic trailer of what has the makings of being one of the most memorable and significant socio-political sports documentaries of recent years:
