Remember when an Uncle Drew movie was in the works? At that time, Kyrie Irving was getting ready for another trip to the NBA Finals with LeBron James, but it’s crazy how time flies and things have changed since.
After being traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Boston Celtics, things are in motion for this Uncle Drew film and the cast has just been announced.
Among those who will star include Shaquille O’Neal, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson, Chris Webber, Lisa Leslie, Lil Rel Howery (The Carmichael Show), Erica Ash (Survivor’s Remorse) and Nick Kroll (The League) will all be part of the film, which is shooting in Atlanta currently.
Howery will be a young baller from Harlem who loves basketball and links up with Irving as Uncle Drew after seeking his help to play at Rucker Park.
Expect the film to be out sometime in 2018.
