According to the Columbus dispatch and IMDb, there’s no distribution date.

There were announcements about it back to 2021 then Clooney was producing it. It was being distributed through HBO but still nothing.

Does anybody know?

4. The HBO Attorneys may have held it up. HBO & Clooney could face defamation lawsuits by players, Jordan & coaches.

6. I also suspect this is the case

What he needs is for someone to come out with the first expose book about the matter. Publishers do legal checks as a matter of routine when libel could be a risk. They would do the hard work of clearing the legal niceties for him, and then he could focus on getting the rights and start filming.

5. Last I saw, it had disappeared from his list

Of forthcoming productions on his website.

He's either abandoned the project, or it's in some kind of development hell.
