This week, we thought we’d bring you a little bonus from another show from NPR, The Limits with Jay Williams.
Years before they built the SpringHill Company—an entertainment and development brand recently valued at $725 million—Maverick Carter and LeBron James were just two kids from Akron, Ohio who loved playing basketball.

In this episode of The Limits, Carter—the CEO of SpringHill—sat down with Jay Williams to share how he and James succeeded on their own terms, why LeBron’s mother initially doubted their vision, and what Carter really thought about LeBron’s decision to return to Cleveland.
