The world is collapsing but hey, there's still basketball! This year, the NBA Finals has extra importance as the Golden State Warriors are looking to regain their championship status after years of injuries holding them back, while the Boston Celtics are seeking the most total NBA championships in the history of the league. And since we are covering this right in the middle of the series, we spend more time on the narratives than on the X's and O's of the game.
To explore the NBA Finals, we look at one of the most NBA heavy films in recent history: the Netflix original HUSTLE. Produced by LeBron James and Adam Sandler, staring Mr. Sandler and NBA player Juancho Hernangomez, this underdog sports story is the already in the running for a modern day classic. We drive the lane to see if this film has what it takes to go four quarters, or if there is another sports metaphor that would work better here!
