About a month ago, we found out that future Oregon Ducks star Marquis ‘Mookie’ Cook has a relationship with NBA mega-star LeBron James after the future Hall of Famer gave a shoutout to Cook following his commitment to Oregon.
Now we’re learning a little bit more about the relationship between the two, with word coming out that Cook is set to star as a Young LeBron James in the upcoming movie ‘Shooting Stars.’
“James and Bissinger’s Stars chronicled how James and his best friends in Akron formed a close-knit bond that sustained them through a failed national championship tournament and winning a title by the end of high school,” wrote The Hollywood Reporter. “Along the way there were plenty of tests, such as broken homes, jealousies and even James’ own mega-success.”
Talk about becoming a star before you even get to campus.
Cook is among the highest recruits to ever sign with the Ducks, ranked by 247Sports as a 5-star SF who is the No. 2 player at his position in the 2023 class, and No. 5 in the class as a whole. Standing at 6-foot-7, 200 pounds, the Portland native was also ranked as the No. 1 player in the state of Arizona.
