Hustle

PeanutButterFalcon.jpg

A basketball scout discovers a phenomenal street ball player while in Spain and sees the prospect as his opportunity to get back into the NBA.

I love basketball and I love basketball movies, but that bias out of the way, I thoroughly enjoyed Hustle. Adam Sandler was outstanding as a basketball scout and Juancho Hernangomez was a badass baller. I you love basketball or inspirational sports movies in general, don't sit the bench on this one. From a basketball perspective, one thing I liked about this movie that stands apart from a lot of other basketball movies is how much they showcase other areas of the game outside of scoring - namely defense and HUSTLE.
