The movie tells the story of a washed-up basketball scout (Adam Sandler) who discovers a talented new player, (Canarian NBA player, Juancho Hernangómez), when he’s on holiday in China. Without the approval of his team, he decides to take him back to America to prove that they both belong in the NBA.

When he was just 17, his brother encouraged him to become a stand up comedian and when comedian Dennis Miller saw his act he recommended him to ‘Saturday Night Live’ who hired him as a writer in 1990.

Over the years, the Hollywood actor and comedian has starred in many, many movies, including ‘A Great Dad’, ’50 First Dates’, ‘The Wedding Singer’ and ‘Rough Diamonds’.
