Will, a small goat with big dreams gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot to join the pros and play roarball – a high-intensity, co-ed, full-contact sport dominated by the fastest, fiercest animals in the world. Will’s new teammates aren’t thrilled about having a little goat on their roster, but Will is determined to revolutionize the sport and prove once and for all that “smalls can ball!” He has to do something he has never done before.
This sounds like one of those terrible movies that was made for one simple reason - there is some small thing that becomes popular, like GOAT being a thing, so some money-grubbing media company forces a "concept" around it, gets some broke writer to scrape together a barely coherent script, then shoots it on a shoestring with a new or industrial director, spends twice as much to promote it, and forces enough of a minor success that it makes a profit.
All based on a word/phrase - GOAT.

It really just seems like a Stephen Curry vanity project. Another rich athlete wanted his own Space Jam.
I mean, ok, fine, whatever.
It’s not for me. And that’s ok.

Someone probably had this half-baked project and shopped it around. My conspiracy theory is that Curry's agent jumped on it, after LeBron turned it down.
