James is joined by NBA and WNBA stars Maverick Carter, Draymond Green, Lisa Leslie and P.J. Tucker in a new episode of The Shop
LeBron James wants to know how he can continue to amplify athletes’ voices.
In a trailer for Friday’s episode of Uninterrupted’s The Shop, shared exclusively with PEOPLE, the 37-year-old Lakers star says, “We’ve gone so long with not being heard. How can I create voice and power for us?”
The trailer reveals James’ guests for the episode: Maverick Carter, WNBA legend Lisa Leslie, Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green, and NBA champion P.J. Tucker. The group discusses how Serena Williams changed culture behind a decisive statement from Green. “Serena not only showed women what was possible. Serena changed culture,” he says.

Leslie, 50, tells the group, “I’ve been married to basketball but once I had my daughter I knew it’s a sacrifice. I chose my daughter.”
