Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe original plot description said that Adam Sandler's main character finds "a phenomenal street ball player while in China...."
According to an interview with Dan Patrick, Adam Sandler stated that due to pressure from Netflix (which, as of the development of this movie, does not do business in China), the location was changed to Mallorca, Spain.
- GoofsWhen Stan tells the story about the car accident that injured his hand, he said he threw out his hand to keep Leon from going through the windshield. Since Stan was driving, he would have injured his RIGHT hand, not his left as is shown throughout.
- Quotes
Stanley Beren: [to Bo] Do you love this game? I mean, love it with your whole heart. Because if you don't, let's not even bother. Let's not open that door. They're just going to slam it in our face. I love this game. I live this game. There's a thousand other guys waiting in the wings who are obsessed with this game. Obsession is going to beat talent every time. You got all the talent in the world, but are you obsessed? Let's face it. It's you against you out there. When you walk on that court, you have to think, "I am the best guy out there". So let me ask you again. Do you love this game?
