‘Uncle Drew’ Trailer: Kyrie Irving Leads a Team of NBA Legends in Old-Age Make-Up
Posted on Wednesday, February 14th, 2018 by Hoai-Tran Bui
It started as a viral bit. Basketball star Kyrie Irving donned some old-age make-up, a fat suit, and a white wig to play “Uncle Drew,” a washed-up basketball player who shows up to a local game and shows up all the young players. He debuted in a Pepsi Max ad that was presented as documentary-style “chapters” — which later came together as a 20-minute short film. The videos soon went viral and and went on to be one of the most popular ads that aired at the NBA finals.
Now, Uncle Drew is getting his own movie.
