Maybe once to watch it with someone who hasn’t seen it. Would not want to watch it much more than that

The Philadelphia references, the people and players in it are cool. It isn’t bad it’s just a predictable sports movie

I mean idk how y'all feel about Coach Carter but that's one of my fav movies of all time.

Would you say its better or worse than that movie?

Worse. Imo this movie does not compare to coach carter in the slightest

I absolutely love that movie

Coach Carter is great, but it's also ALL actors and no real professional athletes.

Hustle is mostly relying on current or former athletes for many of the main roles. That's a bit tougher but also cool to watch for NBA fans or basketball fans in general.

Aight I'll be watching it seems lol. That list is amazing.

Thanks redsox and DM

I mean a lot of them don't say shit or do much outside of play basketball, maybe a line or two for some of them.

But overall it was put together pretty well considering they aren't professional actors lol

You got it. It's worth the watch

Just finished watching

Honestly, might be the first time ever something has ever fulfilled the DM hype. Was really good. Unlike everything else he ever homers.

Kinda makes me hate Anthony Edwards though

yea for real. didnt really follow him but now i just dont like him bc he played a bad guy in a movie
