Website TMZ recently obtained audio of James' final speech to the cast and crew. He gathered everyone around after 58 days of shooting and talked about the impact of the original film on his life. LeBron James appreciated the cast and crew's effort and thanked everyone. He was quoted saying

"I showed up on set — on June 17 — and I grabbed my first script," James told the crew. "I grabbed it and in the far right corner, that thing said 'Day 1 of 58 days.' I was like, 'Bron, what the f—?' No matter how long you're together — you know, two months, three months — when you are together 12, 13, 14 hours a day, five days a week, sometimes six, you become family."

The sequel will also feature several top NBA stars, including James and Draymond Green. Damian Lillard, Chris Paul, Klay Thompson and Russell Westbrook will also appear in the film.

"Savannah [James' wife] is a beast at what she does. That's controlling the home and being that rock for our family. So I'm not worried about that. But you definitely, you have that miss factor when you miss your family, you miss your kids."
