“Evoking the same kind of import and historic approach of ESPN’s 30 for 30 series, the experience represents the next step in telling truly sophisticated documentary stories in VR.”
– Adario Strange, Mashable
“Along the way, we got to live it, really live it. It was like we were right in the huddle, along the sidelines, in the stands among the more rabid fans, on the court with the players, dodging champagne spritzes in the locker room, and right next to LeBron and a shirtless J.R. Smith as they basked in all the love during the parade.”
– Spencer Lund, Uproxx
“… an enthralling new view of iconic moments such as James’ thunderous Game 7 chase-down block of Andre Iguodala, a play that the filmmakers rightly emphasize as a visual metaphor for the series. As impressive as the play was on TV, it’s even more so in 360 degrees, thanks to the sense of physical immediacy that VR uniquely conveys.”
