The first episode will have James discuss the 2012 championship. As per reports, James will also discuss the 2012 Eastern Conference finals between Miami Heat and Boston Celtics. James discusses the Game 6 of the six-game series in detail, where he scored 45 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and is considered one of his best games yet.

The three-time NBA champion will also speak about his teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. James elaborates on how important 'Big 3' was for the title and the extreme criticism he faced when he left his home team Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat. In 2010, James publically announced his departure from Cleveland during ESPN's TV special 'The Decision'. James received backlash for his live special, as people referred to him as 'arrogant' and 'selfish' while burning down his jerseys and tearing down his billboards.

James led the team to an NBA title in 2012, where he won the Finals NBA MVP against the Dallas Mavericks. He won another title the next season and helped the team make it to the finals four consecutive times (2011-2014) before returning to the Cavaliers. Greatness Code is co-produced by Religion of Sports and Uninterrupted, which James co-owns. The series will also feature other stars like Tom Brady, Alex Morgan, Usain Bolt, Shaun White, Katie Ledecky, and Kelly Slater. Each episode will be around seven minutes and be available on Apple TV.
