Calvin Roberts believes it’s never too late for second chances.
The 61-year-old is on a mission to become the oldest person ever to play in the NBA after failing to make the team when he was selected by the San Antonio Spurs in the 1980 NBA Draft.

“When I started working out, I reached a point where I got back into my college shape, and it just kind of kicked in,...

Amy Poehler is toplining this winter’s comedy Sisters alongside celebrity gal pal and fellow comedian Tina Fey, but the Parks and Recreation alum isn’t waiting on the box office numbers of that vehicle to start setting up more comedy projects. Sticking with Universal, which is distributing Sisters, Poehler has set up basketball comedy Balls, in which she’ll star as a “once-promising basketball coach who is asked to lead an NBA team.”
Ike Barinholtz, who has a part in Sisters and recently broke out with a supporting role in Neighbors, will co-star and pen a script with David Stassen.
Poehler is pulling double duty on the pic as well, producing through her Paper Kite Productions. Scott Stuber and Dylan Clark are on board producing through Bluegrass Films, while Paper Kite’s Brooke Posch, Barinholtz and Stassen will executive produce.
The timing for Balls seems opportune, seeing as the...

It might seem fitting that a cast and crew of rookies made a film about a beer league softball team, but it is pretty surprising that the resulting film is as strong of a debut as Summer League. Having been deeply embedded in the Austin film community for a few years now, I was admittedly very apprehensive about screening an Austin film with no recognizable names.
