Maybe it’s cuz the Lakers are booty and LeBron’s got a bum knee atm, but a wave of intense sadness just came over me as I’m writing this review. Seeing LeBron so young — not just in HS but being interviewed for the doc as a young Cav — really makes his mortality weigh on…

Stoppp im literally bawling my eyes out right now 😭😭😭 this was so heartfelt and absolutely beautiful. I never watch stuff like this but my husband insisted and I’m so glad he did. Seeing the backstory of the “Fab 5” was so heartwarming and the perfect pick me up that I…

Insightful documentary about the humble beginnings of LeBron James and his turbulent youth. It provided context about him that only further enhances his legacy. His teammates are also strong role models who each embody strength and resilience with a desire to be the best.
