Steph Curry is making moves off the court.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the following news on Monday afternoon:
"After intense courting across the industry, Sony Pictures Entertainment on Monday will announce that it has closed a wide-ranging, multi-year development deal with Curry’s newly formed production company Unanimous Media. The shingle is named for the Golden State Warrior point guard’s distinction in 2016 of becoming the first NBA player to sweep the Most Valuable Player award’s 131 votes.
