CLEVELAND (AP)—LeBron James has gone from the gold-medal stand to the silver screen.

The Cavaliers’ megastar, fresh off helping the U.S. basketball team win gold at the Beijing Olympics, will be at the Toronto International Film Festival this weekend for the debut of “More Than A Game,” a documentary chronicling his rise to stardom and how he and four childhood friends overcame long odds to win a national championship in high school.

Combining footage taken during James’ career at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in nearby Akron, along with one-on-one interviews by writer/director Kris Belman, home videos, and personal family photographs, the film is about much more than basketball. At its core is a story of friendship, loyalty and love.

LeBron James and friends invaded Toronto this past weekend as "More Than A Game", a documentary about basketball at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, debuted on Saturday, according to Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The documentary follows James and his teammates from grade school through travel-team friendships and glory in high school.

"This is the first time I've cried, in basketball or anything, since we lost that national championship game in eighth grade," said James after the screening of the movie. "This is authentic."
