Rajiv Joseph's King James, now playing at The Mark Taper Forum through July 3rd, explores Lebron James' impact on Cleveland, from his rookie season to the city's historic championship, and the lives of two unlikely friends whose turbulent relationship is best navigated through their shared love of the sport in a verbal game of one-on-one.
