Fans of arguably the greatest basketball player of all time in Michael Jordan know the years of when he attempted to play professional baseball after his father was killed. This was done to fill a void in his life as his father always wanted him to play baseball. After his short time with the sport of baseball, he returned to the NBA to win three more championships.
Will Smith is now looking to give fans of MJ a deeper glimpse of his time playing baseball. From his minor league games with the Birmingham Barons to playing with the Chicago White Sox, fans will get a deeper understanding of why MJ decided to try baseball.
Smith will produce this film with his Overbook Entertainment banner which will be partnered with Andrew Lazar of Mad Chance Productions.
