Whenever comedian Adam Sandler is in the news for basketball reasons, you’re going to get my attention.
That was the case when he starred in Uncut Gems (2019), and it was true when he lobbied for a spot on the Los Angeles Lakers this past week. The 54-year-old actor, known for his on-court style highlighted by iconic long mesh shorts and oversized shirts often spotted in viral videos, is a hoops legend in his own right.
His forthcoming film Hustle, which is produced in tandem with LeBron James’ production company SpringHill Entertainment, is Sandler’s latest venture on the hardwood. As always, whenever Sandler enters the sports world, there are plenty of reasons to get excited.
