Watching this the first time, I felt this movie was one of the best basketball movies of all time. Pretty much due to how I thought all the actual players were good at the acting portion of it.
Watching it a second time, now I can say it's a good movie but perhaps not the greatest. Certain scenes feel filled in just to give air time to some of the prominent players and coaches. But I guess, that also gives a sort of validity to the story.
I think this isn't the best Adam Sandler movie, he seems quite in cruise control; but the story does enough to carry everybody. The only person I was quite amazed by was Anthony Edwards as Kermit (weird name to give the character). I think he is outstanding in a antagonist way even though he isn't a villain of any sorts.
These types of movies are great to show out the "Hustle" of the main character to overcome whatever he has to. It's a great watch and rewatch.
