NBA superstar LeBron James and cinema star Adam Sandler are reportedly teaming up for a James-produced Netflix film titled “Hustle,” per Collider.
The film is currently helmed by Jeremiah Zagar, a critically acclaimed indie film director.
Per Collider, Sandler is set to play a basketball scout who discovers a streetball phenom in a foreign country. Originally, the country was expected to be China, but given escalating tensions between the NBA and China after Rockets GM Darryl Morey’s comments on Chinese affairs in October, the plan likely changed.
James famously selected LA in part for his post-career activities, which includes his production company.
He has a full schedule off the court, as he’s involved in “Space Jam 2” and a host of other series being produced by SpringHill Entertainment.
