Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Belman originally planned a 10-minute short for his college thesis. LeBron's camp gave him a camera and disappeared for eight years.
This dropped one year after LeBron's 2009 MVP season, making it both victory lap and preemptive reputation management. The 'humble beginnings' narrative was already being curated.
