NBA players are some of the best athletes in the world. Many of them have also starred in movies and it’s safe to say that most weren’t a great look. It’s hard for athletes to act and be around an entirely different crew and environment. But legendary actor Adam Sandler said that one Boston Celtics legend nailed his role, and he stunned him and the entire movie cast.

Kevin Garnett is an NBA legend. He won a title with the Boston Celtics and played for various other teams as well. He is a 15-time All-Star who played in the NBA for 21 seasons. For his contributions to the NBA, he was named to the NBA 75 team. Since retiring, he has done several other ventures also, but one such venture earned him high praise. That was his performance in the movie Uncut Gems.
