Caron Butler Documentary: Seeing is Believing update

[Mike Honcho]

Digging up an old thread but only because it looked like we never closed the loop, and I just stumbled upon the documentary:

Seeing is Believing: The Caron Butler Story - Act 1

Wizards alum Caron Butler is living a life that no one could have predicted. In Act 1 of “Seeing is Believing,” Caron revisits his childhood to explain how he almost ended up a statistic instead of an NBA All-Star.

Cobb?? Not even close by any metric.
Caron always had loads of basketball talent, the question was whether he could keep himself alive or out jail long enough to capitalize on that talent.

There’s no way you can say with a straight face that Eric Cobby didn’t have more raw talent then Caron. No way.

These things probably gauge interest before the movie to see if it's worth the investment.

Glad to see him acknowledge how you have to work hard and overcome obstacles. That kind of talk is not allowed in the California University System................good thing he went to UConn!

SI: Do you know who you would like to play you in the Caron Butler story?

Butler: That’s a great question. The guy that I really like to play me in my biopic is Jacob Latimore. I really like Jacob for various reasons. He’s from the Midwest region. He’s in a show called The Chi which is one of my favorite shows. What he embodies on that set, he made me take notice of him. Someone like that would be a great get for us.

Milwaukee kid. But just 5'7".

he would be great for the role. I watched (and enjoyed) the first couple of seasons of “The Chi” and his character was my favorite.
