If you've ever been curious about the story behind the legend, then Shooting Stars is going to be a must-watch for you. 

Based on LeBron James' book of the same name, co-written by original Friday Night Lights author Buzz Bissinger, Shooting Stars looks into James' origin story as a child prodigy and that of his equally talented best friends, who all banded together to become the #1 high school basketball team in the country. (If it sounds familiar, you may have caught More Than A Game, the 2008 documentary about James and the team that came out five years after James was drafted to the NBA straight out of high school.)

Set in the '90s, the film stars Marquis "Mookie" Cook as a young LeBron James, with Stranger Things' Caleb McLaughlin, Avery S. Wills Jr., and Khalil Everage starring as James' childhood pals. 

Shooting Stars exclusively premieres on Peacock June 2.
