- A look at the young life of basketball star LeBron James. Feature film adaptation of LeBron James and Buzz Bissinger's book 'Shooting Stars'.
- Based on the book by LeBron James and the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Friday Night Lights, Buzz Bissinger, Shooting Stars is the inspiring origin story of a basketball superhero, revealing how LeBron James and his childhood friends become the #1 high school team in America, launching James's breathtaking career as a four-time NBA Champion, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, and the NBA's all-time leading scorer.
- Set in the early 2000s in Akron, Ohio, the sports drama "Shooting Stars" revolves around the dominance of St. Vincent-St. Mary, a Catholic high school known for its basketball prowess. The team's remarkable achievements and national recognition are attributed to a pivotal moment in the film when the coach singles out a freshman, LeBron, to join the game. Based on the book of the same name by LeBron James and Buzz Bissinger, the story chronicles the extraordinary four-year journey of a close-knit group of childhood friends-LeBron James, Lil' Dru Joyce, Willie McGee, and Sian Cotton-as they lead the team to unprecedented success. To preserve their unity, the friends make a controversial decision to forego the local public school and enroll in a private institution with a predominantly white student body. This choice, coupled with the media frenzy and the allure of lucrative opportunities surrounding LeBron, adds complexity to their accomplishments and raises eyebrows within the community.—anonymous
