There seems to be hundreds of reality shows looking for the best singers, dancers, models, filmmakers, chefs, and other talents but when it comes to sports, there aren't that many. But former NBA player Duane Causwell (Kings, Heat) is hoping to change that. He's currently working on a new reality show with film and TV producer Mark Skeete (BET's Sunday's Best) called "America's Top Baller."

"I'm excited about the possibilities of the show," Causwell said. "There are a lot of ballers out there who should be playing pro ball but they're not, and we are going to give them their shot. The magic of 'America's Top Baller' is that it goes beyond being a simple competition program for athletes. It also integrates socially compelling themes: academic achievement, court skills, and personal character. To be a basketball star, you need a combination of all these qualities."

Causwell and his staff are currently casting 30 amateur basketball players who will participate in 12-week competition where the winner will take home the title of America's Top Baller, a contract with a sports agent, a cash prize of $50,000, a signature sneaker line of their own and a chance to live the dream playing professional basketball. The show has yet to be picked up by a network, but Causwell hopes to have it on the air by this summer.
