Synopsis All five of them are rare basketball geniuses. Even in the face of unprecedented honor and praise, they still show extraordinary and unbreakable friendship ... The coach of the team, Dru Joyce II, is a strict, diligent and charming amateur tutor with almost no teaching experience, and the captain is the future NBA superstar LeBron James. This is a legend related to the "Five Tiger Generals". The camera will follow these five players all the way from a barren and shabby small gymnasium in the city center to the national high school basketball championship. In these nine years, this United and well-organized team has been constantly tested, both on and off the court-for example, James's unparalleled basketball talent broke out directly, which also threatened his entry into the international hall of fame. Coach Joyce's obscure dedication on the sidelines finally made him an indispensable spiritual mentor and basketball expert, guiding these five talented but miserable children like his father.

Everything happened at 1997. Joyce promised to coach his son's youth basketball team "Meteor" in his spare time ... The core of this team is composed of four boys from the same community-Joyce's son Drew Joyce III is a short shooting guard; Willie McKee left his home in Chicago and lived with his brother in Akron. Xi' an cotton has been trying to get out of his father's shadow; There is also a scrawny little boy, lebron james. He moved at least 10 times with his mother, and he longed for a relatively stable life.

In order to give Drew Joyce III, who was less than 1.55 meters at that time, several boys agreed to go to the same high school, so they chose a private school with almost all white students ... This incident caused quite a storm in the local black community, but Joyce, as a coach, got a position in the school coaching staff. He supported the children's decisions in his own way and soon became known for his toughness. People who like to find fault with good things quickly shut up, because these freshmen who just entered high school led the team to score 27-0 in a game for the first time, and then won the state championship with seven three-pointers from their short-headed shooting guards.

When they entered the second year of high school, Romeo Travis, a gloomy but very talented transfer student, came to the school. The "Four Tigers General" finally officially became the "Five Tigers General Army". After experiencing setbacks and growth, James and his teammates won the first national championship with unstoppable momentum ... both on the field and in life, they coached Joyce.
