Caron Butler has been enthusiastically spreading the word about his upcoming book release by sending boxes to his teammates and even having Vice President Joe Biden pose with a copy.
Now, there is talk of taking Caron’s story off of the page and onto the silver screen.
TMZ Sports recently reported that actor and producer Mark Wahlberg has had discussions with Butler about turning his book into a feature film. The story, titled “Tuff Juice: My Journey from the Streets to the NBA”, chronicles how the Kings forward escaped a dangerous and challenging background and worked his way to a successful NBA career on and off the court.
