Five talented young basketball players from Akron, Ohio star in this remarkable true-life coming of age story about uncommon friendship in the face of unprecedented fame.  Their coach is a hard-driving, charismatic but inexperienced player’s father.  Their leader future NBA superstar LeBron James.  This is the “Fab Five’s” story – an improbable seven-year journey that takes 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 court—as James’ unparalleled talent explodes into worldwide celebrity, threatening 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-warming and wholly American story to life.

MORE THAN A GAME is written by Kristopher Belman & Brad Hogan and directed by Kristopher Belman. The film features LeBron James, Sian Cotton, Dru Joyce III, Willie McGee, Romeo Travis and Coach Dru Joyce II.
