'''''[http://www.youtube.com/TheLeBrons The LeBrons]''''' is a 2011 Internet animated series from LeBron James. It started out as [[The Lebrons (advertising)|a series of live action Nike commercials]] that LeBron created in 2005.
Based on LeBron's childhood and taking place in his hometown Akron, Ohio, it is about a family of four personalities [[Author Avatar|based on himself]]. The four LeBrons are:
Line 31:
In every episode, the family has a stunning misadventure, and later either learns a [[An Aesop|moral lesson]] or demonstrates a lesson to kids, a la ''[[Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids]]''.
It has lasted for 10 episodes so far{{when}}. 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 [[Western Animation]], since [[Animation Bump|its animation is a lot more detailed than other webtoons]].
