LeBron James finally found one of the few things he can't conquer: tears. Welled-up with watery-eyed emotion, James tried to push them back with thumb and forefinger, but they just kept coming. He wasn't alone. There was a lot of crying and hugging when the lights came up at Saturday's world premiere of "More Than a Game."

The documentary, by Akron-native Kristopher Belman, follows James and his teammates from grade school through travel-team friendships and basketball glory at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, where four tight buddies became five. It's a touching, crisply told saga of boys becoming men.

"This is the first time I've cried, in basketball or anything, since we lost that national championship game in eighth grade," said James after the screening. "This is authentic."

The movie was one of the highlights from opening weekend at the Toronto International Film Festival, where major studios come to create Oscar buzz, and independent films like "More Than a Game" shop for a distributor.

"We've had some interest, but there's nothing firm yet," said the movie's producer Harvey Mason.
