Born Ready Premieres on MTV2 Tonight
- story THE FADER
If our memory serves correct, Lebron James was like 11-years-old when he got his own shoe from Nike, but he still doesn’t have a whole TV show to himself. Lance Stephenson might not have his own shoe yet, but he does have the FADER Films web TV series Born Ready to his name. The show follows the Lincoln High School junior class phenom as he balls and lives in Brooklyn, New York. Last year it got some run on local stations but MTV2 just picked it up as part of its regular programming and will debut it tonight as a part of MTV2’s Sucker Free programming at 11pm. Starting next Monday, you can catch it regularly on MTV Jams for the next eight weeks. Congrats to FADER Films and Lance for getting on the real television!
