In something we should have seen coming for a long time, a company out of California is working on a new reality TV show called “America’s Next Sports Star.” We should have seen a reality show with sports coming. I’m actually surprised it wasn’t done sooner.

Here’s a description of the show:

In this sports reality show, amateur male contestants compete in a basketball competition to determine the nation’s best athletes.

“AMERICA’S NEXT SPORTS STAR” is a celebration of the American dream that captures the competitive spirit.

Each athlete will have 30 seconds to demonstrate their ability in a variety of skills in this weekly show. This isn’t some teenager singing another person’s hit tune.

This is a lively, fast-paced, action filled program that draws upon the tone and excitement from the grandfather of all reality genres—the sports world.

Hundreds of unknown athletes from all over the country will descend into Las Vegas, Nevada for a shot at the big time. National auditions will be held to seek out the best amateur male athletes in basketball.

Could be really interesting or really lame. My guess is that most of these ballers have pretty interesting stories. The challenge might be getting them to articulate their story.

Unfortunately, no big sports stars names are listed, nor any major networks, nor even the hosts for the show. Not a promising sign for the show. We’ll keep our eye on this show and see what happens to it.
