NBA superstar LeBron James and tennis star Naomi Osaka have joined forces to explore how professional athletes utilize their days away from competing in their home cities. James’ Uninterrupted platform and Osaka’s Hana Kuma production company as well as UltraBoom Media, best known for “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown,” are collaborating on the bi-weekly project.
According to Variety, the project, entitled “Off Day,” released its first episode on July 16, that episode showcases Osaka taking the crew with her on a guided tour of her native Tokyo, Japan. As is appropriate given the gravitas of both James and Osaka, the guest list is filled with stars from the MLB, NBA, and the WTA.
Toronto Blue Jays superstar first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Houston Rockets franchise centerpiece Alperen Şengün, and the world’s number one tennis player on the women’s circuit, Aryna Sabalenka, will be featured in subsequent episodes, with the former pair touring their native cities of Toronto and Istanbul, while Sabalenka, who is Belarusian, tours New York City.
Per Variety‘s report, the series is the first-of-its-kind, the show, which features high profile athletes traveling in various world cities, functions as a kind of travelog, based on its partnership with The Infatuation, Chase Travel, and Chase Sapphire as well as comments from UltraBoom co-founder Erik Osterholm in a press release.
