“More Than a Game” SilverDocs Premiere

“More Than a Game” SilverDocs Premiere

by Brian Brooks (June 16, 2009)

SilverDocs opens! (Left to right): Willie McGee, LeBron James, “Little” Dru Joyce III, Romeo Travis, Kristopher Belman, Sian Cotton and Coach Dru Joyce arrive at AFI-Discovery Channel June 15 in Silver Spring, Maryland for the Opening Night gala, “More Than a Game” by Belman. The film focuses on five talented young basketball players from Akron, Ohio who are the subjects of the coming of age story about friendship and loyalty in the face of great adversity. Coached by a charismatic but inexperienced player’s father, and led by future NBA superstar LeBron James, the “Fab Five’s” improbable seven-year journey leads them from a decrepit inner-city gym to the doorstep of a national high school championship.
