Just months after LeBron James released his blockbuster movie Space Jam: A New Legacy, the Los Angeles Lakers star has another feature film up for release less than a year later. King James teamed up with Adam Sandler to produce a new hoops flick Hustle set for release on Netflix on June 10.
Check out the first teaser trailer of the upcoming Netflix film, which features several NBA stars:
The official Netflix plot synopsis is as follows (via Uproxx):
Article Continues BelowAfter discovering a once-in-a-lifetime player with a rocky past abroad, a down on his luck basketball scout (Adam Sandler) takes it upon himself to bring the phenom to the States without his team’s approval. Against the odds, they have one final shot to prove they have what it takes to make it in the NBA.
The plan was for the foreign phenom to be from China. But with Netflix not actually streaming within the country, they reportedly pivoted to either Latin America or Europe and eventually settled on Spain.
Alongside Sandler, the titular player featured in the film is played by NBA veteran Juancho Hernangomez. Also making appearances are NBA stars Anthony Edwards, Seth Curry, Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxey and Matisse Thybulle.
