Starting next month, go90 will air the mockumentary series, The 5th Quarter, which takes an inside look at the greatest untold, and untrue stories in sports history. The 12-episode series from production company OBB Pictures with 3 Arts Entertainment and Kids at Play will get an assist from athletes, like Metta World Peace and Chandler Parsons, as well as a number of comedians, including JB Smoove and Jeff Ross.

The first episode will feature Kenny Mayne telling the story of 7-year-old Clif Cliff Adele, played by Blake Griffin, who made a name for himself in the world of basketball after coming to America with his uncle, Brian (Donnell Rawlings from Chappelle’s Show). Adele's team helps take his team to the 2002 AAU Under 8 National Tournament championship game where he faces off against a young Karl-Anthony Towns. After garnering attention from the NBA, and drawing the eye of Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, it is discovered that little Clif Cliff is actually 30 years old. 

"This series combines the worlds of premium comedy and sports better than ever before," said OBB Pictures president and CEO, Michael D. Ratner. "We’re very proud to work exclusively with go90 and with such a diverse all-star cast who were able to bring these untold stories to life in their sometimes inspiring, shocking and comedic ways. Whether the biggest sports fan or not at all, this is a show for everyone." 

The premiere will be on November 2.
