    Truth and nothing but the truth

    This show is REAL. Entertaining, brutally true and even funny. There is not doubt the ratings will be divided, not because someone doesn't like the series but because they can't separate the politics, the truth and sports. IMHO Every real sports fan would give 9 to 10 stars unless politically motivated otherwise. Anybody who thinks athletes, actors and showpeople shouldn't comment politics are just ignorant people. As this show brilliantly says it - politics is for all people. Politics just means one has something to say about what's happening around us. Some people don't like that and it will show on ratings.

    Long Live The King and his Brotherhood of CEOs, masters of storytelling!

    That LeBron and Maverick created such a wonderful series out of something so hateful is amazing to me. As a middle aged, Brit from across the pond who loved many of the great Black sportsmen, this show was informative, entertaining and well edited. Really liked how they used a female voice to narrative which is outside the sports norm. HBO and Warner Brothers hit a treasure chest with these young men. The 6.8 rating on here tells me the demographic must interested and effected by this show don't bother writing on here it seems! Well, I am here to do it. Go watch the show if you're interested in great sports people and how their work become the hotbed of the struggle for human rights. LBJ also walks the walk with his free agency advocacy, ex-players health care, older players ability to get paid by their teams if they can bring the same value as 25s. All wonderful work that goes unnoticed.

    The Peoples champ!

    Lebron fluff piece...

    Don't expect any actual questioning of Lebron....as the producer of this it really is just an infomercial for him. I'm frankly tied of hearing the opinions of athletes, celebrities, mass media pundits, etc, etc, etc. The scourge of the Information Age is that we are forced to hear everyone's opinions (including mine right now). News is no longer informative, it's ratings driven 24 hour editorial. So Laura Ingram has every right to tell him to stick to what he's good at...basketball...and leave the politics out of the game. But I also believe he has the right to spend his money and say what he wants...that's why he came out with this documentary as a response. But none of their opinions matter in the daily lives of most people.

    the story of basketball. period.

    Racism is everywhere, even in sports. clearly the people have did not like this doc clearly see it and it moved them enough to be hatin' on it. sooooo, yeah. :)

    you can't win them all. all roads end in racism.

    you love basketball, watch the doc! also props bc of all AMAZING early footage!

    harsh reality

    I don't follow basketball, so some things were new to me. I AM an adamant civil rights proponent. This documentary is an important testament to race relations. I hope Jay-Z is right about change because, right now, things aren't looking so good.
