James and Carter are the executive producers of HBO's "The Shop" and have inked a deal with showtime to produce a documentary series called "Shut Up and Dribble."

Ali died in June 2016 at the age of 74 after a 32-year battle with Parkinson's disease. The three-time heavyweight champion was a sports figure who transcended sports as an activist and provocateur.
