Thunder point guard Chris Paul is producing a documentary series that will offer a close look at the challenges HBCU basketball programs face.

Paul's Ohh Dip!!! Productions will team up with Emmy-winning Roadside Entertainment to produce the series that will follow HBCU teams over the course of a season.

"HBCUs historically have been at a competitive disadvantage with their basketball programs facing many challenges with funding, recruitment, misperceptions and exposure," Paul said in a release. "With the current racial awakening in our country prompting young athletes to look at where they play, it’s now more important than ever to shine a light on HBCUs and showcase their value in sports and society.
