The Shop: New Orleans
Uninterrupted
The second installment of Uninterrupted’s barbershop series, hosted by LeBron James and Maverick Carter and filmed in New Orleans during NBA Finals week 2017. The conversation pulls in Draymond Green, 2 Chainz, Jesse Williams, Charles Oakley, and Steve Stoute, with the format later expanding into an HBO series.
As an edit, the piece depends on conversation management: keeping a full room of big personalities moving, preserving interruptions and reactions, and still giving each topic enough shape to land. The strength is that it feels casual without feeling loose, maintaining the energy of a real barbershop hang while quietly controlling pace, turns, and emotional temperature.
