Shooting Stars | Official Trailer

The true story of how 5 friends took the game of basketball by storm 🏀
#ShootingStars hits Peacock June 2.

It’s not how you start the game. It’s how you finish.

Based on the book by LeBron James and the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Friday Night Lights, Buzz Bissinger, Shooting Stars is the inspiring origin story of a basketball superhero, revealing how LeBron James and his childhood friends become the #1 high school team in the country, launching James’s breathtaking career as a four-time NBA Champion, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.

In the 1990s, a young LeBron James (Marquis “Mookie” Cook, in his screen debut) and his three best friends — Lil Dru (Caleb McLaughlin, Stranger Things), Willie McGee (Avery S. Wills, Jr., Swagger) and Sian Cotton (Khalil Everage, Cobra Kai)—called themselves the “Fab Four,” after the famed Michigan Wolverines’ “Fab Five” of that era. From the moment we meet them, we realize this group of friends, under the guidance of coach Dru Joyce (Wood Harris; Creed franchise), is connected by more than basketball.

So, when the coach at the top basketball school in their district threatens to separate them by putting Lil Dru on junior varsity, the Fab Four decide to switch schools to be able to play varsity together, joining the team at a predominantly white Catholic school instead. The community takes this as an insult, but the boys’ dedication to each other is more important than anything else.

With their new coach (Dermot Mulroney; August: Osage County), a disgraced former college coach seeking redemption of his own, the boys, along with former rival and new teammate Romeo Travis (newcomer Sterling “Scoot” Henderson), will face battles not only on the court but in real life, in their quest to become national champs, and will rediscover that what matters most about the game is the people playing beside you.

If you haven't sat down and watch more than a game then you will understand why this was made into a movie

[crablord]

Scoot Henderson cameo in a LeBron biopic is crazy lol

[thadmccary]

They filmed some of the basketball scenes at my old high school (Cleveland South School). Man the memories just seeing familiar spots of that gym is crazy!!!

Just watched it now: beautiful movie giving props to LeBron's teammates, friends and family and sharing the spotlight with them. Love that he took the time to highlight each one of their triumphs and successes and make them recognisable figures to fans now.

I went to elementary and high school with Avery S. Willis, Jr., who plays Willie McGee in this. He did amazing in this movie. Y’all should check him out in “Swagger”. The whole cast did great. To me, I personally enjoyed the whole film. ❤️‍🔥☺️

[MyGee]

Just finished watching it. It’s definitely a good movie and I see why Lebron gets his team involved a lot in the NBA after watching it

[margaritataylor]

Mookie Cook is my beloved cousin. I'm so proud of him and his accomplishments.

Wether you like LeBron or not, you have to respect that the movie is about his friends/teammates, not just about him.

I just finished watching this movie it's a Dope movie. I love how Lebron respected and loved his friends and not been selfish, it was a "We "not a "Me" movie. Lebron have big loving heart and that's why I love him. Thank you Lebron and your friends for telling ya'll stories ❤❤❤
