"Loosely based on Delly" would be the keywords in this instance.

I believe Jeff Gillooly will play the title role.

Let me guess, in the movie the Cavs win? After LeBron has a season ending injury in game 4?
I am imagining a karate kid style overlay where the opponents have to be the Knick's bad boys and they beat up the hero Delly outside the stadium after practice. Delly to hit the game winner in the 'crane' stance.

^ Also....he inspires an early comeback in the last qtr, before getting brutally fouled and injured. Oh no! He has a broken leg, but he demands that the trainer plaster him up, and he subs himself back on (commentators and crowd going wild, exterior shot back to Maryborough to see school kids recovering from tears to standing up and cheering) for the final game-winning-shot-in-crane-stance.
More a religious movie set in Nazareth about 2000 years ago.
Delly plays the part of a young carpenter who becomes known the world over
The article says that his jersey is now one of the NBA's best sellers. No, that is a complete misrepresentation of what occurred during Dellymania.
I believe it. Because I doubt even his parents knew he played in the NBA so absolutely no one would have had his jersey. I bet Lins sold like crazy when Linsanity happened too
