Adam Sandler and LeBron James are taking fans behind the scene of the life of an NBA scout. The two superstars of their respective industries are producing a movie for Netflix titled “Hustle” that debuts on June 8th.
In the film directed by Jeremiah Zagar, Sandler stars as Stanley Sugerman, a scout for the Philadelphia 76ers. As he ponders whether he wants to continue living the secluded life of a scout, he discovers Bo Cruz, played by Utah Jazz forward Juancho Hernangomez. He believes Cruz is the real deal and works tirelessly to bring him to the Sixers.
Sandler shared a new trailer for the movie that shows off its star-studded cast.

Queen Latifah stars in the movie alongside Sandler as Sugerman's wife, Teresa, according to John DiLillo of Netflix Tudum, along with Robert Duvall and Ben Foster. A host of NBA players have roles in the movie alongside Hernangomez. Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards had a scene in the movie where he gives Hernangomez's character the business in a scrimmage.
Other NBA players shown in the trailer include Kyle Lowry, Boban Marjanovic, Tobias Harris, Jordan Clarkson, Aaron Gordon, Seth Curry and Matisse Thybulle. Former players Julius Erving, Kenny Smith and Mark Jackson (who could be possibly working more with James as the next head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers) make appearances, too.
Although James does not appear in the trailer, the movie features loads of NBA players around Sandler as his character looks to prove everyone wrong and show off his scouting skills.
