Adam Sandler and LeBron James are teaming up for an upcoming Netflix basketball movie.
The comedy legend will star in the James-produced "Hustle," which follows an American basketball scout bringing an international player to the U.S.
James' notable transition to the film industry is highlighted by his upcoming acting and producing role in "Space Jam: A New Legacy," the sequel to the 90s movie starring Michael Jordan.
The SpringHill Entertainment production company, founded by the NBA icon and partner Maverick Carter, will take on both projects.
