More Than a Game: The Review

I normally dont DO documentaries ( or women ZIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing)..... okay can i just do this? ( thats what she said ZIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing).... seriouslY?

......

okay anyways.. ( ZIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!)

OMG SHUT THE F* UP!!!!

............

aaaaaaaaaaaaanyways... ; my new SJ friends (you know who you are) are all about "sports"; sporting" matches"; athletes" etc etc...

so im like.. WELLL I may as well see what the big DEAL about basket-balling anyways!!

More than a Game is ... as cliche as it sounds " more than just LeBrons story" its about the way he grew up; and his 4 homies. Its really intersting because LeBron may get 30% screen time; maby even a little less; as his other 4 friends get JUST as much screen time; and well to be honest some of them have MORE compelling back stories!

Overall this is just a GREAT movie; i mean; its alot like a typical sports film/ comming of age story; but the fact that its REAL?! makes this 1000 times doper! Actually if this was a Hollywood basketball movie ( space jam anyone?!)

Would YOU like to play for the Charlotte Bobcats?!

it would have been kinda corny how formulaic and perfect everything comes together in the end; but the fact that its all REAL ( i like to use caps) ; and it REALLY happend makes for Quite an impress peice of sports history!

..... and i gottal tell you even as a non-sports-enthusiast?!... just a GREAT DVD a great story; masterfully told through a non-linear format tying up NICELY at the end.

The only 2 issues i'd say is 1 i didn't appreciate some of the graphics used to handle certain elements where there wasn't actually any for i really like the way VH1 behind the music does their documentary stuff; but for something as BIG as the LBJ (not Lyndon B Johnson * that movie would SUUUUUCCCCK!!!!) story? i'd like a little more production valueThe Real Life Mr. Burns

Other than that at times i was a bit confused by what game it was; what the score was; if this was the last game they'd play together; or which over weight black guy was which.

But other than those minor confusions; its just a GREAT story!!! ; i can't say that enough... and I can now officially say im a LeBron fan. I'll put aside the fact that he's younger; in better shape; makes more money; has his own sneaker, clothing, and marketing company; OH and he can most likely beat me at basketball; and just appreciate the dude that he is

"Oh Look @ me.... im so AWESOME"... you jerk!

I gotta tell you... I've always been a Micheal Jordan fan through and through... but after he released his book " Driven from within" .... I have to ask the question " Is MJ legally sane"? his compeititve nature is RIDICIULOUS and mentallly questionable; and his work ethic borders on OCD ( yeah you know me!) . But hey... he wins games; so no ones hating right? (also his sneakers are dope) BUT how much fun can someone like that be to hang out with?

Air Jordan XX3

LeBron on the other hand ( whos sneakers are less dope)

Nike Zoom Lebron III

really REALLY just enjoys Basketball. * at least according tothis DVD* He loves what he does; he loves the guys he plays with and he has a GERAT time on the court. You can see it when he goofs around with his team

I guess the way i look at it is if you hang out with MJ? he's going to lecture you about perfection and how to acheive it; if you hang out with LBJ? he's going to quote Chris Farly movies until you laugh so hard you pee your pants while milk is comming out of your nose

err.. it hasn't happend to MEE... (whats never happend to you a girlfriend?! ZIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing)

.....

awesome.
