Love him or Sport Archiveshate him, Australian NBA player Matthew Dellavedova has done well to capture attention of basketball fans with his hustle on the court.
While some may paint Delly as the league's dirtiest player, many others think that's not always a bad thing.

Los Angeles-based producers Zachary Green and Jason Shuman will develop the project, teaming with Dellavedova and his Australian manager Bruce Kaider.
"I am honoured that Bruce, Zachary and Jason think enough about my journey to turn it into a feature film," Dellavedova said in a statement online.
