Adam Sandler is the man of the freakin' moment. After surviving Mr. Deeds, Don't Mess With The Zohan, Grown Ups, Grown Ups 2, The Cobbler, Jack and Jill, and The Ridiculous Six, Happy Gilmore himself is generating some serious Oscars buzz for his lead in Uncut Gems, where he stars alongside the likes of Kevin Garnett and Mike Francesa as a Midtown jeweler who gets in over his with the wrong people betting on sports in mid-aughts NYC. Despite that premise's potential to hit a little too close to home for the film's target audience, New Jersey, the film broke records with its limited opening last weekend, grossing $537,242 in just FIVE THEATERS nationwide, a figure that is sure to skyrocket when the film goes wide on Christmas day.
And now, hot off all that hype, video has emerged of Sandler rolling up to a pickup game and absolutely destroying, leaving the internet to scrape its collective jaw off the hardwood. More like Adam Sandles amirite? Hello? Anybody?
