At one point in the game, Sandler can be seen tossing a solid pass to one of his teammates, who sadly misses his opportunity for a wide-open three-pointer.
“One chance to score off an Adam Sandler pass in your life and it hits nothing but backboard. Devastating,” wrote a reporter for the Philadelphia 76ers.

However, Sandler’s skills on the court earned him the respect of former NBA player Baron Davis, who wrote, “Adam Sandler is a baller. You want to be on his team in pick-up. He throws dimes!!!”

Sandler is a well-known basketball enthusiast who’s often spotted sitting courtside with his celebrity friends at Los Angeles Lakers games.
The comedy superstar, who’s starred in sports movies like Happy Gilmore and The Waterboy, can next be seen playing a basketball scout in the upcoming Netflix drama Hustle, which he’s producing alongside LeBron James.
