Daily News | The best Philly sports stories of the week
might be Matt Breen’s piece on Jonathan Loughran, a Philly native who has become a mainstay of Sandler movies — not to mention the star’s best friend.We’ll stick with “Hustle” for one more story, since you might be wondering if it’s just a regular sports movie or if it’s one that you can watch with people who aren’t necessarily sports fans. On that front, we have some good news.
: I thought the story was pretty good, but the basketball was exceptional. There were a lot of jokes in there about Juancho Hernangomez’s character, Bo, ordering porn in his hotel room, and I kept laughing because this movie was like porn for basketball fans. It’s hard to make sports look realistic in a movie — and this one was as good as I can remember. And beyond the actual basketball, there were so many references and cameos.
On a related note, what did you think of the acting from the athletes in the movie? I’ve got to say it was better than I expected.Honestly, I don’t think they really acted. I think they were just being themselves. And that’s what made it so realistic. They were just doing what they do. As far as Bo’s acting. I think he was really good. He and the rest of the players who were playing roles like Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves, who played Kermit, used an acting coach.
