It was announced yesterday that Lifetime, Television for Women, is making another one of their patented biopics, this time based on the life of Kevin Durant’s mother, Wanda Pratt. As someone who has been known to depressively hole up in my bedroom on a weekend with a couple of bags of birthday cake Oreos and a loaded .45, watching made-for-Lifetime movie marathons until the firemen knock a wall down, I came up with a few possible storylines that might be for this two-hour, low-budget masterpiece of feminine-marketed viewing.
TRIUMPH OF COURAGE: THE WANDA PRATT STORY
Emmy-winner Meredith Baxter turns in another award-worthy performance as tough inner-city single mom Wanda Pratt. A former star point-guard for her college basketball team, a few wrong turns in life left Wanda stuck in poverty and dreaming of a better life for her two boys. Though she swore never to pick up a basketball again, a chance encounter with Bob Dandridge (Grant Show) inspires her to take to the court one more time…and turn her two boys in world-famous champions, no matter what!
