AUSSIE NBA point guard Matthew Dellavedova is headed for Hollywood, with his underdog story set to be the focus of a feature film.

From humble beginnings in the country Victorian town of Maryborough, Delly rose to the pinnacle of the NBA, winning a title with the Cleveland Cavaliers, alongside legend LeBron James.

Los Angeles-based producers Zachary Green and Jason Shuman — who has produced big money productions like Lone Survivor, starring Mark Wahlberg — have taken the reins of the movie, which is being made in conjunction with Dellavedova and his manager Bruce Kaider.

“I am honoured that Bruce, Zachary and Jason think enough about my journey to turn it into a feature film,” Dellavedova said.

“I am thrilled to be working with this incredible group to tell my story to inspire kids around the world to dream big and that hard work and perseverance pays off.”

The film is out to writers and is expected to start production in Australia next year.

But who should play Delly?

Home and Away man Lincoln Lewis actually looks a little like Delly and could easily emulate the Aussie NBA star.

The Code’s Dan Spielman, Aussie heart-throb Liam Hemsworth, the zany, but talented Batman Vs. Superman actor Jesse Eisenberg and Looking for Alibrandi’s Kick Gurry could also get nods.

Kaider’s One Management Group is touting the movie as being in the same vein of great sports films like Hoosiers and Rocky.

It will touch on Delly’s early challenges growing up out in the bush of Australia and his improbable path into the NBA.

“Delly’s inspirational story about overcoming the odds is one everyone can relate to,” Kaider said.

“In real-life, it played out just like a movie.”

Green said: “everyone dreams of the one in a million chance of playing in the NBA, but this blue-collar kid actually achieved it.”

“I am looking forward to bringing his story to the big screen.”
