“After discovering a once-in-a-lifetime player with a rocky past abroad, a down on his luck basketball scout (Sandler) takes it upon himself to bring the phenom to the States without his team’s approval,” reads the official synopsis. “Against the odds, they have one final shot to prove they have what it takes to make it in the NBA.”
The preview sees Sandler’s character expressing his desire to become someone important in the league, stating, “Being the guy who finds the guy matters in this business.”
