Legendary filmmaker Spike Lee and the creator of HBO series “Entourage” team up for a brand new HBO drama called “Da Brick.” But not with out the help and inspiration of the ferocious heavy weight champ Mike Tyson.

The series is described as an “exploration of what it means to be a young, black man in supposedly post-racial America, loosely inspired by aspects of Mike Tyson’s youth.” It’s slated to reflect the life and times of the savagely fierce boxer Mike Tyson.

The series is set in Newark N.J in which the title is derived from “The Brick City.”
