What can one man mean to a city and its people? LOSING LEBRON beautifully explores the effect that Lebron James' "decision" had on Cleveland and the people who live there. With a long history of almosts, Clevelanders know disappointment better than most and this film does a wonderful job of bringing us closer to understanding what that must be like. How do years of disappointments, a crumbling economy and being the butt of jokes everywhere change a towns perceptions of itself? While Lebrons choice to move to Miami and play with the Heat bookends the film the story is much deeper than just a recap of this awful time in Cleveland sports history.
I highly recommend this film to anyone, whether you're a fan of the NBA, feel-good stories, Cleveland or not this is worth your time.
Now that Lebron James is returning to Cleveland there's even more reason to watch Losing Lebron.
