Had a LOT of random cameos in there, especially from some of the former And 1 guys.

Didn’t even know that was The Professor working with him on his handles until I saw the end credits.

This is a fail on your part Pack

Lots of great appearances from real people. I know I spotted his brother Willy, Jose Calderon, Ant, Clarkson, Gordon, Trae, Middleton, Dr J, Doc, Dave Joerger, Mo Cheeks, Kenny, Chuck, Shaq, Ernie, Boban, Harris, Thybulle, Lowry, Maxey, Seth, Dirk, Jay Wright, Mark Jackson, Iverson, AO, Bone Collector, The Professor, Lethal Shooter, Abrines.. and I’m sure I’m missing quite a few players, Spanish players, street ballers, coaches/GMs, and media. This is the most I can remember seeing in a movie like this.

Aside from all that, Anthony Edwards played his role perfectly. Maybe he’s right, he can excel at anything lol.

I thought that Mark Cuban's help would help him avoid this again...

His journey should be a pretty big wake up call for people. Unfortunately I think it's viewed as a freak type situation, for whatever reason. "He just needs money and a chance," etc. These people are dealing mental illness and/or drug problems.

The amount of cameos was staggering! I caught myself trying to figure out if I like the movie or if I'm just awestruck by all the basketball people combined with my old geezer love for Sandler, and the fact that his usual friends didn't show up. Plus the first dude I saw was Moe Wagner from Michigan and I'm like here we go
edit: Kenny Smith can act, and his character name was funny, especially knowing the LeBron company produced it

Not sure I follow.

What’s different about his situation that we already don’t know/didn’t know about?
