There is just no stopping Lisa Leslie, is there? She is continuing to make boss move after boss move after boss move!
Recently, she signed on to be the head coach of the New Orleans Gators Global Mixed Gender Basketball League—which is co-run by Master P and Tiny Harris. Now, she has been announced as one of the featured stars for the upcoming “Uncle Drew” movie slated to hit a big screen near you next summer.
Remember those Kyrie Irving Pepsi “Uncle Drew” ads that have been all over all of our television screens? Yep—those are being adapted into a movie.
Among those joining Leslie for the upcoming flick—Reggie Miller, Shaquille O’Neal, and Chris Webber from NBA on TNT/NBA TV.
According to this article, “Uncle Drew” will be about the ex-playground hoops icon who roams the country to reunite his old teammates for an upcoming basketball tournament in New York.
Any movie about basketball based on funny commercials and featuring a WNBA luminary sounds like an automatic must-see.
Ninety percent, Rotten Tomatoes or nah?
