We’ve confirmed that the Alex Sohn and Gavin Johannsen written spec screenplay With the eighth Choose, concerning the behind-the-scenes 1996 NBA drafting of Kobe Bryant has landed at Warner Bros. There isn’t a director connected as of but.
The mission is instructed from the viewpoint of John Nash, the Common Supervisor of the New Jersey Nets, and incoming coach John Calipari who actually needed Bryant. Nevertheless, the New Jersey Nets had been a broke group, and Bryant was an LA Lakers fan.

Bryant was being courted to turn out to be Calipari’s first NBA draft choose, a transfer that would have modified the course of the NBA perpetually. It’s being described as Social Community meets Air meets Moneyball with a thriller bent.
