One of the more popular trends in entertainment recently is biopic shows and movies, and that trend has made its way into sports. First, HBO aired a show about the beginning of the Lakers’s first dynasty based around Jerry Buss and Magic Johnson, which has already been renewed for a second season.
Next, another important basketball figure from the 80s is going to be featured. Michael Fleming Jr. of Deadline reports Ray Romano is producing a movie where he will play legendary NC State head coach Jim Valvano.
“Jim Valvano has always been an inspiration to me,” Romano said.
