LeBron James production company Spring Hill have partnered with Netflix for an all-new movie ‘Hustle’ starring Adam Sandler, Queen Latifah and many more.
Hollywood Unlocked was on the blue carpet as the cast and crew walked the carpet for the world premiere at Westwood village theatre in Westwood CA where we talked with the stars and so many more.
‘Hustle’ is not the typical basketball movie where you follow the stories of players trying to make it bigger than they already are, rather this story follows a scout trying to take a no name player to the top on his own dime.
About ‘Hustle’
Adam, a real-life New York Knicks and all-around basketball fan takes on the role of Stanley Sugerman, a scout turned assistant coach for the Philadelphia 76ers whose passion for finding the perfect players takes him to Spain. On his search, he finds Bo Cruz, played by real-life Utah Jazz player Juancho Hernangómez and turned his life upside down for the good, but not without a few trials and tribulations to start off.
Stanley (Sandler) bets everything on bringing Bo (Hernangómez) across the border to be a potential member of the 76ers team against the will of new team owner Vince Merrick (Ben Foster) who made a bad call with a previous draft pick just months earlier.
With the support of his wife Teresa Sugerman (Latifa), Stanley (Sandler) financially supports Bo (Hernangómez) while leaving his dream job as an assistant coach to personally train and prepare Bo who’s never been on a professional team to make it not to the little leagues, but to the big leagues. but with a team twist you will have to watch to see.
Eventually, his hard work and literally hustle pay off as Bo makes it to the league and Stanley gets his courtside seat as an assistant coach.
This film features some major NBA cameos from names like Boban Marjanović, Trae Young, Jordan Clarkson, Khris Middleton, Aaron Gordon, Kyle Lowry, Seth Curry, Tobias Harris,and others like Kennny Smith, Doc Rivers, James Goldstein, Dr. J and so many more.
