Before LeBron James became one of the biggest stars in the NBA, he was just a kid from Akron, Ohio. In junior high, he met three boys — Dru Joyce III, Willie McGee and Sian Cotton — whom he played with through high school. He and his friends called themselves "The Fab Four," and James also calls them his brothers.
James went on to be the No. 1 NBA draft pick, selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers straight out of high school. Since then, he's led the Cavs into the playoffs each year since 2006.
Shooting Stars is the story of his early years. James and his high school coach, Dru Joyce, talk about life before the NBA.
