    Juancho, Anthony Edwards, and Kenny Smith all did a great job acting. This movie was proof you can have basketball players in a movie, and not feel like a high school production.

      @@Mygoalisfitness His acting was good as well. He showed emotion through the film and even shed a tear. I’ve watched movies with “credible” actors who could barely get their eyes wet and this man cried in a scene. Not saying that it’s the sole reason why I consider him a good actor but just saying that it wasn’t only the casting as you mentioned.

      his acting wasn't great, but because of his thick accent and his English (which is good but not great), it seems believable. he can't speak English naturally enough to possibly act badly if that makes sense.

      Not an excellent movie BUT well done *not just as a sports film BUT as a movie, in general.* Very entertaining. Also imparts some good values and positive reinforcement specially to struggling aspiring young athletes, and even to middle-aged men who might be at the crossroads of their careers or are still chasing that elusive dream job or dream business. I'd rate this a solid 6.5 out of 10.

    By giving us the impression that he is some new actor in full NBA shape, which mean he succeeded characterization already. He doesn't talk too much in the film, I guess it's all part of the script but for someone like me who is taking-up Theatre and Playwright in Drama School, silent dialogues and relaxed acting method are one of the hardest part to achieve. But Juancho nailed it.

    I don’t watch sports. I don’t like sports. They made a sports movie that I absolutely love and have been recommending everyone to watch. They did an amazing job with this movie. The acting was great bi never would have guessed it was Juancho’s first ever acting role.

    Just watched the movie. It's great! Being a big hoops fan and seeing all the players we know and have loved forever was great! Big time NBA players in cameos. And the story was great too. And Queen Latifah too! Movie was really well cast. And in the real world Juancho's brother is a really good player too. Some are saying perhaps they'll be following in Pau and Marc Gasol's steps playing for Spain. Loved the movie!

      I think it is a great movie, and Juancho is not so terrible, considering he had no previous acting training of any kind. Btw, he and his brother Willy already played together for the Spanish National Team. In fact, they won the gold medal at the 19 FIBA Basketball World Cup.

      Adam Sandler's production collaboration with *Lebron James production company*
      is probably how so many NBA talents where showcased in this movie ..
      which brought to life Lebron's motto, MORE THAN AN ATHLETE ..
      (each of those NBA players has really good acting skills, which is impressive)

    5:36 his expression says it all! I was quite impressed to find out that he is a real basketball player (saw a lot more negative reviews than good ones but I hope he manages to have a good season with Utah). because of the movie, I started researching and following the NBA a little more (especially with the finals going up now and because, in the past, my dad was an amateur basketball player). so, thank you Juancho for opening the doors for me to another amazing sport that I will follow closer ❤

    Juancho you have good way ahead of you, just always keep your feet to the ground. Great acting btw it's not the type of acting where some NBA players (LOL) would do something as technically calm and reserve. Bo Cruz, as portrayed by Juancho Hernangomez in the film, was a teenage single parent and whom mostly took lots of weigh in his shoulder his family's responsibilities and adversities and his only escape from these realities is to hustle basketball games in the street of Spain. It just happened he's perfect for the role. The chosen Juan.
