The first season of the show, which premiered on Netflix competitor Peacock’s platform in November 2024, was wildly successful, giving us an inside look into the life of the College Basketball Star both on the court and behind the scenes.
One of the iconic moments supplied by this show involved the USC superstar working with an NBA legend, being caught on set working with Lebron James, where Watkins revealed her first commercial was actually working alongside the Lakers star for Nike.
“That was one of the moments where I was like, completely star-struck, and I don’t feel that a lot,” Watkins explained, detailing the moment she first met Lebron in an episode of the docuseries.
