LeBron James talks Michael B. Jordan's "Sinners" with director Ryan Coogler

LeBron James has been a big fan of director Ryan Coogler, who has also directed films like "Creed" and "Black Panther." With Coogler's new release, "Sinners," the veteran director has set a new bar in the horror-action genre. The Lakers star also had the opportunity to watch the movie at a special screening.

Ahead of the movie's release, the player sat down for a Q&A with Coogler on Thursday. One of the questions that the Lakers star posed was how he wanted viewers to consider "Sinners."

Coogler said:

"I'm trying not to get emotional thinking about that s**t, bro. I am thinking about that concept more, not in terms of reflecting on my legacy, but in terms of starting to do the math and saying to myself, 'Man, I've been doing this for a while.' A couple of years ago, I realized I’ve been a filmmaker longer than I had played football, and football had been my identity."

Coogler also shed light on LeBron James' legacy through his career. Highlighting how they came out of high school the same year, the movie director was stunned by how the four-time NBA champion was able to play with his son.
