I really enjoyed this. Sandler is a great dramatic actor and Juancho Hernangomez was great for a real life player turned actor. I'm not massively knowledgeable about basketball so some of the cameo appearances from other professional players, coaches and owners flew over my head. But it didn't matter the story and characters were more than entertaining. The plot is reminiscent of Rocky, especially with it being based in Philadelphia, and they use that as a strength when it came to the soundtrack and cameo appearances by Freeway and Beanie Seigel. I have to praise Queen Latifah and Jordan Hull for their performances as Sandler's wife and daughter. They felt and acted life a real family. Also credit has to to be given to Ben Foster and Anthony Edwards as the film's antagonists, they played their roles perfectly. The comments Sandler makes about hating soccer were funny.
