Adam Sandler has been a huge fans of basketball for all his life now. But the star considers Philadelphians the greatest fans of the sport.

‘Hustle’ Star Adam Sandler Calls Philadelphia Sports Fans “actually, the worst” in the World

Sports is one of the only unifying elements in this divided world. And for the
USA, the sport that brings everyone together is Basketball. Basketball is played
in almost every US state and not just at a professional level but even at a
lower college level. However, if there is one US state that is crazily
passionate about the sport, it is Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. That’s probably
why the new Adam Sandler film Hustle is based in the city.

Philadelphians love the game with all their heart and might. Their passion for
the game transcends all limits, and Sandler knows this very well. He also knows
how critical people of Philly sometimes can get, but it is all out of love.


ADAM SANDLER APPRECIATES THE FANS OF BASKETBALL FROM PHILADELPHIA

This week, Adam Sandler [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/adam-sandler/] has
garnered a lot of accolades for his role in Netflix’s Hustle. On Wednesday, June
8th, the sports drama picture was finally launched.

Sandler plays Stanley Sugerman, an international scout for the Philadelphia
76ers [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/philadelphia-76ers/], in
the film. His objective is to uncover the franchise’s “next big thing.”

Sandler’s character finally runs across Bo Cruz, who is played by Utah Jazz
[https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/utah-jazz/] star Juancho
Hernangomez. Throughout the film, they form a really special friendship.

Since the movie is set in Philly, it is no surprise that Sandler made a
statement about Philadelphia’s fan base in the film, which went popular on
social media.

“Philadelphia, baby… Best sports fans in the world. Actually the worst, but
that’s what makes them the best,” Sandler states in the film Hustle.

Let’s just say that many basketball fans agree with this notion. There is no
doubt that Philadelphia sports fans care deeply about their teams.

While they may be excessively critical on their players at times, Philadelphia
supporters mostly want their sports teams to succeed. That is what makes them
“the best,” as Sandler put it.
