Most 23-year-olds have not done enough in life to be worthy of having their own documentary(紀錄片)
Most 23-year-olds aren't LeBron James.
The NBA superstar, who recently won gold at the Beijing Olympics, has just released More Than a Game. It is a documentary that follows his rise to stardom (明星地位) and how he and four childhood friends overcame long odds to win a national championship in high school.
Combining footage (鏡頭) taken during James' career at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, US, 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 (核心) is a story of friendship, loyalty and love.
"We set out with a goal as kids and we wanted to accomplish that someway, somehow by using basketball as a tool, not knowing that it was going to create other opportunities for us," James said. "We didn't know it was going to create a brotherhood and trust. We grew from kids into young men."
While James is the star, his former teammates, Dru Joyce III, Sian Cotton, Willie McGee and Romeo Travis, play a major role in the film.
Their journey began together as 8-year-old boys, winds through years traveling all over America playing in basketball tournaments and finishes in their senior season at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.
At the time, Belman was a college film student. He set out to film James and his friends' season as his final school project, a 10-minute documentary. But after gaining the trust of the players and coach Dru Joyce, Belman spent two months filming and eventually teamed with producer Harvey Mason Jr to the full-length feature.
James hopes the film will inspire youngsters (年輕人).
"We set out with a goal when we were eight and we accomplished it when we were 18," he said. "It's a great story and I wanted to get it out to kids that have a dream, that they should continue to go after it, believe in it and live it if they want to accomplish something."

There was a time when I thought my dad didn’t know a thing about being a good father. I couldn’t 31 him ever saying the words “I love you.” It seems to me his only purpose in life was to say “__32_ ” to anywhere I wanted to go and anything I wanted to do, including getting a 33 . Some parents bought their kids cars when they got their driver’s licenses. Not my dad ---- he said that I’d have to get a job and buy my own.
So that is what I did. I got a job at a very nice restaurant and 34 every penny I could and 35 I had enough to buy my car, I did! The day I brought that car home, my dad was the first one I wanted to 36 to. “Look, dad, a car of my own. If you ever want a ride, I’ll only 37 you five dollars.” I offered with a smile.
“I see,” was all he said.
One day, there was something wrong with my father’s truck. So he needed a 38 to work. . The sun wasn’t even up when we left the house, 39 it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a(n) 40 day. As I dropped my dad off, I 41 him, dressed in his work clothes, getting his 42 from the trunk of my car. Watching his sun-weathered face, and even from a distance I could tell there were 43 lines than I ever remembered being there before. I realized how hard my dad works for the family. My father is a cement finisher. In that instant, it 44 to me that he actually got down on his hands and knees to sweat over hot concrete to make a living for his family. And he did this day in and day out, 45 hot it got. Never, not once, had I heard him 46 about it. To him we were “worth” it. And never once did he “charge” us for it.
When he closed the trunk, his tools set off to the side, he walked over to my window to 47 me five dollars. I rolled down the window and said “Good-bye, dad. Keep your five dollars. It’s my 48. Don’t work too hard. I love you.” His 49 met mine, then glanced away in the direction of his waiting tools, he 50 his throat and said, “Oh, and… me, too.”

We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed.“I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things 21 !” You’ve surely heard them.Maybe you’ve used them to describe 22 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been 23 for years—often from 24 childhood.These stories may have no 25 in fact.But they can set low expectations for us.As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作機械的) skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations 26 my development? I was never 27 to work on cars or be around 28 .When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test.My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later, 29 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree.One of my professors, Dr.Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do.On the positive side, I 30 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 31 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills.I explained my life 32 and told him about my 33 performance on the Army test.Bob then asked, “ 34 is it that you can solve 35 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t 36 from some sort of genetic defect.I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 37 .At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 38 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless.And it wasn’t just the Army test, either.I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 39 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 40 we choose.
