Look into his heart (before it was broken by the Knicks): John Turturro in the great Miller's Crossing (file photo) "The Mavericks have a great team, but I’m a Knicks sufferer," he said. "You're lucky. You have a real team here." Turturro played some small forward in high school, and he says a few colleges were circling him when he got hurt his senior year and shifted most of his energy to acting. He's been developing a film with Lee and Martin Scorsese, about a '50s basketball star with a gambling problem, called Prince Jack. "It's a cautionary tale and a black comedy," he says."It's a hard film to get made." He says Mark Cuban has read the script. (Lee fans will remember Turturro's small part as over-the-top college coach Billy Sunday in He Got Game, which starred current Celtics star Ray Allen). He still enjoys playing with friends. "It's a beautiful game, especially when you pass the ball around," he says. Take that, Stephon Marbury. |
