Solid basketball movie.
It's a decent movie! It's not the same as the documentary for sure as it's based off the book. It's nice seeing parts of the team you don't really see in the "more than a game" version, like the boys hitting house parties or meeting girls.
Basketball scenes in movies can be "make or break" in movies sometimes but this definitely holds up. An amazing true story that kept to the main story as faithfully as possible, a few changes could've been left out but it was a good movie. It's more of a kids/young teen movie but if you're a hoop head or interested in Lebron's humble beginnings; it's a good time.
Good soundtrack and some nice sneaky cameos too!
