Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James and his former St. Vincent-St. Mary High teammates are cover subjects of the current issue of STACK Magazine, which is distributed to more than 9,500 high schools nationwide and reaches some five million prep athletes.

James and his SVSM friends - Dru Joyce III, Romeo Travis, Sian Cotton and Willie McGee - are also the subjects of a documentary movie, "More Than a Game," that was released this summer.

STACK Magazine, part of Cleveland-operated STACK media, includes in the feature story written by Josh Staph:

Of course, a great deal of their sustained success at SVSM can be attributed to the group’s combined ability and talent; but without the strong bonds and friendship, the championships would’ve been out of reach. “It was just chemistry,” LeBron says when asked about their on-court success. “In a team sport, if you don’t have chemistry, you can’t win. You can only do so much with individual talent. That chemistry that we had off the court just automatically came out onto the court. You know where guys are without even playing with your eyes open. You know everyone’s strengths, so you’re not going to give the ball to a guy if he’s not in his comfort zone. It was just easy for us.”

Near the top: Training camp begins next week, and the Sporting News has just released its team rankings.

About the Cavs, ranked No. 2 overall and best in the Eastern Conference:

Shaquille O'Neal can still play. Get him 11-13 shots per game, then keep your fingers crossed when he's at the free-throw line, and the Cavs will easily win 65-plus games.
