"Our film is more than just an original story about the most successful sports game of all time. This was during a tipping point for the NBA as the league was bursting with excitement and culture that was appealing to a younger fan base. "But while literally standing on my toes, I was completely immersed in a game that allowed me the creative freedom to perform out-of-this world feats of athleticism.
