LeBron Shows That It’s Really More Than a Game
Roughly a month before the Cavaliers kick off their 2010 debut, LeBron James will have a debut of his own. After winning three state titles, a national championship in 2002 and being named Mr. Ohio in basketball for three consecutive years, the only player to do so, James’ journey of his team through high school will show in theatres all across the country. Five kids that played together ever since their grade school days decided to team up and play together in high school at Akron’s St. Vincent-St. Mary. Battling through hardship and rough circumstances, the group of five, James, Dru Joyce, Sian Cotton, Romeo Travis, and Willie McGee stuck to one another and brought their game to a new stage. Winning multiple AAU national championships, the group of five wreaked havoc in the state of Ohio. Winning titles in 1999, 2000 and 2002, this group is arguably the greatest team in the state’s history. With the NBA’s best player leading the offense, the complimentary players did more than just witness. Joyce, and Travis went on to play at the University of Akron and McGee also played college ball. With such a prestigious resume, something had to be done to tell their story.
Well, Disney decided to do something about it. “More Than a Game,” is the doucumentary/film dedicated to the Irish teammates and is set to hit theatres on October 2nd. Having looked at multiple trailers and previews, this film looks outstanding as it shows the hardships in dealing with the life of the ghetto and avoiding the wrath of drug use, alcohol and gang violence.
