Instead “Shooting Stars” is a measured, modest book about four kids from Akron, Ohio, James among them, who became best friends off the court and a mighty force on it. The book, mostly told in James’s gentle first-person voice, follows his life and those of his three friends from their often troubled childhoods through the state and national championships they win for St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron.

I think I might check this out. Lebron James is someone that I respect through and through – he has seemingly done “everything right.” Having this book become a homage to high school friendship seems to be fitting in the mythos that James is creating for himself.
