Uncle Drew
Every now and again I come across a movie trailer that looks SOOOO dumb, that I can’t resist it.
Furthermore, a big part of me IMMEDIATELY says, “I gotta see this.”
“The Rucker” (named for Rucker Park) is a legendary outdoor basketball tournament held each year in New York City. In the 1970s and even into the 80s, even NBA players would participate because of the street cred that came with it. Some of the greatest players this country has ever seen that most people have never heard of, have had their moment in the sun at The Rucker.
Anyway, this tournament is the backdrop for “Uncle Drew” (Boston Celtic star Kyrie Irving in old man makeup). It features a slew of ex-NBA stars (in old-man makeup) like Shaquille O’Neal (pictured above), Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson and others, “schooling” the new generation.
Again…sounds dumb, looks dumb, I’ve got to see it.
