Shooting Stars review: LeBron James biopic scores with an assist from his friends
A look at the young life of basketball star LeBron James. Feature film adaptation of LeBron James and Buzz Bissinger's book 'Shooting Stars'.Instead, the story of this movie is the story of how James’ talent and tenacity were cultivated by his inner circle: his single mother, Gloria ; his first real coach, Dru Joyce II ; his teammates, Lil Dru Joyce, , Willie McGee , Sian Cotton , Romeo Travis ; and his high school coach, Keith Dambrot .
The film follows James from age nine, when he and the boys who would become his extended family on the court and off were introduced to basketball. After winning at the pre-high school level, the four youngsters chose to attend the same high school and—for reasons that are quite moving and, in real life, controversial—picked St. Vincent–St. Mary High, a private Catholic school with a predominantly white student body.
