While it’s normal for Adam to play alongside big-time players, Garnett admired his game and was amazed after hearing his Trae Young story. Sandler teamed up with Trae in a pickup game and was nervous after receiving a pass from him.

“We were playing 5 on 5, a lot of the guys were there, Tobias and Boban, and just… they were being cool. They let me have the ball I hit it, I hit a shot, it was the most shaky arms I ever had taken a shot when it came to me, I don’t know why I was so nervous. I was like don’t blow this Trae pass.”, said Adam.

It would’ve been a bit embarrassing for him if he had missed that shot, though Adam is somewhat of a skilled baller. Looking at Sandler’s game, he is a great passer and is pretty accurate from mid-range. Sandler recently talked about his take on the Boston Celtics and Golden State in the Finals.
