He also dished on the celebs who have reached out about having a part in the film and shared that a certain Golden State Warriors player is interested in acting in the movie.

“Draymond Green, I talked to him, he wants to be in it as well.”

“Juwanna Mann” debuted in movie theaters on June 21, 2002. The film focuses on Jamal Jeffries (played by Miguel), a pro-basketball player who isn’t ready to walk away from the game due to a lengthy suspension. His obsession with the sport leads him to suit up as a woman for the WNBA. As he helps his new team climb the ranks, Jamal Jeffries realizes he has feelings for team captain Michelle (played by Vivica A. Fox).
