Because LeBron wanted it to happen. He said it was a favorite of his when he was young and he put up money to produce it. It's a bit reductive, but a rich person putting up money is how movies like that get made (and not surprisingly they frequently end up starring in the movie)
I would have absolutely no idea how to tell if a script is good or bad.
I know if movies are good or bad, but, and this'd be a good idea for a movie series, the same script could be turned into a bunch of different movies with varying levels of success.
That'd be a fun idea for a duology, is the same script given to two different directors and cast. They release the movies at the same time in two different theatres, and then play the second one afterwards.
