    Hi guys , I sort of liked this one !!! Maybe I’m biased , because I’m a native of Philly? Lol, it was a sutto “Rocky”, under dog, type vibe. Lots of didn’t come together for me , the relationship with Queen and Adam. The holes in the story line , however , I liked the parts where he did coach Bo through that smack talk stuff . I give it a 3 🤔

    The movie was enjoyable in a sense of a feel good movie to watch with the family but actually critically looking at it, it’s not the best. The biggest problem for me what the chemistry between Adam and queen latifah. It was almost clingy, along with the idea that Adam Sandler was a beast at basketball and was in the NBA just isn’t that believable unfortunately lol

    • @jada846
      @jada846 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      For the peoplethat haven't seen the movie, the significance of the order of events is as follows. Bo's first tryout is a private practice session just for the 76ers. When he fails there, it's important that he makes it to the combine so that all the other 29 NBA teams get to see his skills. Since the 76ers try to use his criminal record to get him banned from the combine they do the Boa challenge to go viral and show that Bo's talents are undeniable and that he deserves to be in the combine in hopes of being picked up by a team. Obviously, all are free to like or dislike the movie but I'd hate for someone to not like it because of a misunderstanding.

    One thing that doesn’t make sense is why doesn’t Adam Sandler go work for kenny the jet character’s after he gets fired ??? It made no sense and also he would’ve never been hired again by the 76ers after the shit he said to Ben foster’s character even after Ben foster left the 76ers.

      The sister and the son BOTH inherited the team. She just allowed him to run it. This is a scenario that happens all the time in pro sports ownership. The sister decided to take a more active roll and she hired Stanley back as he and her always had a good relationship. This is also something that happens all the time in real life sports.

    'Hustle' - *An unexpected use of energy that results in a positive play* I googled that reference! I admit, I did that after Nick did say. "not to be confused with" ;D So, appreciated it that it didn't matter if the viewer knows nothing about, NBA here! It's more poor writing and plot-holes. Like, why 'have sabotage/threatening acts - with no logically explanation for it, from a *sports world* perspective? Perhaps, if it was way under 2 hours, working on the chemistry between characters could make it a more worthy 'family' movie. Nick questioning a character's motivations: "antagonizing him, is like why, to what end?" Right on what this story did not need!
