Caron Butler may be coming to a silver screen near you.

The Sacramento Kings forward is releasing a book about his life entitled "Tuff Juice: My Journey from the Streets to the NBA" that follows his road from a tough background to the pros.

But Butler is not stopping with the written word, no, he is reportedly in talks with actor and producer Mark Wahlberg to see his life acted out on the big screen.

"(The movie is) a possibility ... I've spent some time with Mark Wahlberg," Caron told TMZ Sports, according to NBA.com. "He loved my story."

And the forward already knows who he wants to portray him.

"Michael B. Jordan," the Kings forward said. "I loved what he did in 'Fruitvale Station.' I think he would do a great job at sharing my story."

And guess who would probably get the first invite to his movie premiere?

JOE BIDEN.
