Description

Five talented young basketball players from Akron, Ohio star in this remarkable true-life coming of age story about friendship and loyalty in the face of great adversity. Coached by a charismatic but inexperienced player's father, and led by future NBA superstar LeBron James, the "Fab Five" improbable seven-year journey leads them from a decrepit inner-city gym to the doorstep of a national high school championship. Along the way, the close-knit team is repeatedly tested-both on and off the courtas- James' exploding worldwide celebrity threatens to destroy everything they've set out to achieve together. More Than a Game combines a series of unforgettable one-on-one interviews with rare news footage, never-before-seen home videos, and personal family photographs to bring this heart-wrenching and wholly American story to life.

    This has to be about the best documentary that I have ever seen!!!! This show went beyond basketball, and taught all of us what hard work, and determination gets you. I laughed, I cried, and it left me feeling determined about life. You see into the souls of these young men. I feel I now know these young men, and all the struggles they went through to get where they are. I also see the hard work from the coaches, as well as the sacrifice the parents made. Having 2 boys myself, I made those sacrifices with their sports, and extra curricular activities. Now I see that I made the right choice. They are fine young men, just as these boys are. What was a pivotal point to this movie, was how it seems that their families all came first. That includes the coach who regarded them as family. My only wish was the film was longer.

    Fantastic movie, very inspirational. By the way, I hope Lebron and the heat win the 2014 NBA Finals. Only about five minutes of the movie that was unnecessary the rest was rather entertaining. #StriveforGreatness

    I'm a therapist for delinquent teenage boys. I've started showing this film in group therapy sessions, and it has had a tremendous impact on the kids I work with. THIS is why I have & will always cheer for Lebron James, no matter what Team he plays for.

    I loved it. It shows how a kid from such a small town like Akron, can turn out to be such a great ball player and actually make it big.
