'Uncle Drew' movie with Kyrie Irving to hit theaters June 29

Uncle Drew is headed to the big screen.

The fictional character, an elderly man played by Kyrie Irving who schools skeptics on the basketball court, will be the main character in a movie that hits theaters this summer. The film, Uncle Drew, will drop on June 29.

Irving tweeted the official announcement on Monday. This film poster looks completely legitimate, and all signs point to this being a real thing.
