‘More Than A Game’ – LeBron James Documentary Premiere at Toronto Film Festival »

header more than a game More Than A Game LeBron James Documentary Premiere at Toronto Film Festival

The “More Than A Game” documentary, by Akron native Kristopher Belman, follows James and his teammates – Dru Joyce, Romeo Travis, Willie McGee, and Sian Cotton – from grade school through travel-team friendships and basketball glory at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. It’s a touching, crisply told saga of boys becoming men. It was a part of opening weekend at the Toronto International Film Festival. LeBron James could not hold back the tears. As the roar of the standing ovation for “More Than a Game” filled the theater, James, along with family and friends from Akron, cried with deep emotion. “This is the first time I’ve cried, in basketball or anything, since we lost that national championship game in eighth grade,” James said after the screening. “This is authentic.” The movie was one of the highlights from opening weekend at the Festival, where major studios come to create Oscar buzz and independent films like “More Than a Game” shop for a distributor. It should not have trouble finding one after the festival. Let’s hope we’ll get to see this movie soon. Photo via ESPN. Info via waitingfornextyear.com.

Christ The King and St. Vincent St. Mary ZS2 Available in Hong Kong »

It’s been almost a year since the launch of the hated by many and loved by few House of Hoops store. So far, the pimped up Footlocker, which is located in Harlem, New York, is the only store featuring Nike’s concept capturing the essence of the basketball game. This Fall several new stores are announced to open. At first, all the exclusive shoes were strictly a House of Hoops thing. However, as the idea evolved, Nike combined these limited U.S. releases with also very limited releases in Asia. It’s been that way several times this year including the previous Zoom Soldier IIs – Army and Dunkman. Usually, less than 100 pairs drop in New York, and second that gets released in Asia (mostly Hong Kong and China). Last week the launch of the School Soldiers took place in the States, but thanks to abt we’ve learned that this week Hong Kong released the CTK and SVSM Soldier IIs. As a proof we give you one blurry photo presenting HK’s Nike store.
