It’s easy to say, More Than a Game is a good documentary, and I guess I just did. Is it as great as Hoop Dreams? It’s not quite there to be honest, but knowing the Lebron James angle and what he’s become, does make you want to see how he got there. This is what makes this film valuable. You get a great peek at his friends, the Fab 4 which later becomes to Fab 5, the 4 knew each other from when they were little, 11 years old and they played basketball together all the way through high school. Imagine the bond and how their friendship determined how and where they would play. I especially like Dru Joyce III in the center. He played high school ball and was sub 5 feet tall! Of course Nike is involved. Here’s their link to the movie. Meanwhile Kobe was voted as the player of the decade by the Sporting News. Lebron may be the guy for the next decade.

See that long string thing? That's a subterranean termite mud tunnel going from the ground up. It's amazing how they can make such things, but this is under a house which gets no breeze. The tunnels are made of their excrement, so it must bolster the tube. I'm actually amazed at what they can do. If you break their moist poo tunnel, they'll die since they'll dry out. Evidently, a termite inspector...
See that long string thing? That’s a subterranean termite mud tunnel going from the ground up. It’s amazing how they can make such things, but this is under a house which gets no breeze. The tunnels are made of their excrement, so it must bolster the tube. I’m actually amazed at what they can do. If you break their moist poo tunnel, they’ll die since they’ll dry out. Evidently, a termite inspector will mark the spots with an S for subterranean for the next person who works on the property (even if they don’t get the job). According to one inspector, he said, these folks did a good job before him, and that’s what they’re supposed to do. Evidently, there’s a code of conduct for Termite exterminators. That’s cool. Of course what’s not cool is that he came out from under the house nodding his head “no” and dropped me the bad news. See the tunnels in the corners? The termite guy put an S in that spot. That’s indoors.
