"When we started UNINTERRUPTED, it was to give athletes a platform where we could share our stories and connect with our fans in a way we never had before. And to show what we are passionate about beyond the sports we play. It's exciting to see that idea now leading a whole new era of athletes around the world feeling empowered to do more and be more," said LeBron James in a statement. "Expanding into Canada with some incredible partners puts UNINTERRUPTED on a global scale and creates new opportunities for even more athletes and fans to be a part of what we're building."

UNINTERRUPTED Canada will be led by CEO Scott Moore and Chief Content Officer Vinay Virmani. James said it's about creating authentic, athlete-driven storytelling, content, events and merchandise. The company has already signed an exclusive first look deal with Toronto Raptors star Serge Ibaka and there's a feature with now former Blue Jay Marcus Stroman, focusing on undersized athletes titled: "Height Doesn't Measure Heart".
