Billed as doing for football what Entourage did for the movie business, Ballers sees Dwayne Johnson play the role of ‘Spencer,’ a former pro-baller turned financial advisor.
[quote_box_center]Set in Miami, Ballers is a half-hour dramedy centered on a group of current and former professional football players, as well as their families, friends, and handlers. The series goes beyond the game and explores not only the challenges that current players face, but also takes a behind-the-scenes, real look into their lives both on and off the field.[/quote_box_center]
Ballers is the work of Entourage executive producer Steve Levinson, and executive produced by Mark Wahlberg, so there’s your big connection to HBO’s other big TV hit (don’f forget the Entourage movie comes our way next month too).
Here’s a brand new trailer for Ballers. Watch out for it on HBO on Sunday nights at 10pm from June 21st.
