Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has been playing in the league for 20 years now, but his skills continue to impress fans. There have been several documentaries commemorating his journey from a young Akron native to becoming one of the best players in the league’s history. However, only a few have depicted his time as a high school athlete. The billionaire superstar recently dropped a major update on his upcoming project, leaving fans in a frenzy.

King James recently made his comeback after he sustained a foot injury during a game against the Dallas Mavericks on February 26. After missing 13 games, the 4x NBA champion returned to the court to face the Chicago Bulls on March 26.

LeBron James shows a glimpse of his upcoming movie

The Los Angeles Lakers forward recently shared a teaser of the upcoming movie ‘Shooting Stars‘ on his Instagram handle. While many are privy to LeBron James’ NBA career, this film focuses on James’ high school years in Akron, Ohio. It showcases the irreplaceable bond between the 19x All-Star and his basketball teammates. The movie will be streamed by Peacock on June 2. Interestingly, this is not the first film based on James and his four teammates. A documentary named ‘More than a Game’ was directed by Kristopher Belman and released in 2009.

LeBron’s character is played by high school basketball star Mookie Cook who was recently selected for McDonald’s All-American alongside Bronny James. Starring next to Cook is Stranger Things fame Caleb McLaughlin, Dermot Mulroney, Wood Harris, and Algee Smith.
