Guard Da Fatboy and Mak Thompson Prove They’re 2 Different People on ‘The Last Pick’

Years after being the last cut from his high school team, Mak has built a following, landed a film credit, and honed a real game that backs it all up. He and Guard Da Fatboy have faced the same criticism: too big, too flashy, not real hoopers.
But when the cameras are rolling and the game gets real, they’re ready to show exactly why looks can be deceiving on The Last Pick.
