Watched the movie over the weekend. Excellent movie. I suggest everyone watch it as well. Not focused on Lebron at all…it’s about the team (obviously much of it is how they deal with his growing fame in high school).

I have avoided watching it for the same reasons you had. You changed my mind and I just put it in my Netflix queue. High School basketball does have a lasting impression. Whether high school was the end of the line or players go on to pro careers, the high school hoops years are special. My first year of basketball in high school was as a Sophomore and one of our coaches told us no matter what level we ended our careers high school is the last and only time you will play with the friends you grew up with and will be cheered on by the friends you sit in class with or see in the halls every day.

Oh and thanks for reminding me of my last game. Why oh why would you get a double tech, coach, when we are ahead and on our way to the state playoffs??? AHHHHHHHH!!!

I never thought about it, but you’re right, I completely remember my last game. In fact, the only two games I can remember most of are the last game of my Junior year and last game of my Senior year. Other than that, it’s just a highlight and bloopers film running around in my head.

Will definitely watch this movie now…great review.
