Ep. 128 - More Than A Game Scoring at the Movies

    • Cinéma : les critiques

Since we're counting down to our final podcast on June 7th, this represents both our final basketball movie and our final documentary. More Than A Game shows a remarkable amount of archival footage and plenty of behind-the-scenes home videos of LeBron James and his high-school teammates, but did Kristopher Belman ask them any truly hard questions? For instance, were the other 4 guys in the Fab Five jealous about just how rich and successful their megastar friend ended up?  And what's it like to be best friends with arguably the greatest player the NBA has ever seen? We got into a long discussion about that exact point too...just who is the best ever, whether it's LeBron, Michael...or someone else. Chris didn't love the way Belman structured the doc with all the time-jumping and we both felt unsatisfied by the lack of real answers to the scandal that saw LeBron get suspended during their senior year. Still, the movie is fast-paced and very ntertaining. So get ready to root for the overdog as we spend a solid hour chatting about More Than A Game.
 
Oh, and for the record: the boys went to Buchtel High School, not "Beck-tel". Also, LeBron won 2 NBA championships with Miami, 1 with Cleveland and 1 with the Lakers, so he's won 4 NBA titles, not 5.
