"Bye Bye Barry" is directed by  Paul Monusky, Micaela Powers, and Angela Torma and features  Tim Allen, Bill Belichick, and Jeff Daniels as the star cast.

While the Lakers and the Suns are gearing up for their quarter-final clash in the inaugural In-Season tournament, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, LeBron got "emotional" hours before the tip-off after watching the documentary movie. The four-time NBA MVP took to X and wrote, " Up watching this Barry Sanders documentary and I’m getting hella emotional. This guy is simply INCREDIBLE!!!!  "
