Kyrie Irving will be back with his undercover, old man, street balling shenanigans this summer, when he puts on the back-brace and steps out as his elderly alter-ego, Uncle Drew. Uncle Drew came onto the scene a few years back, when he surprised all by dominating pick-up games across the country. Irving wrote, directed, and starred in a five-part series based around the geezer, which was produced by Pepsi.

On June 29, the movie, Uncle Drew, will be released. The film follows the hooping old-timer as he travels around the country in an attempt to find his old teammates, so that they can compete in a street ball tournament together.
