Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the final game coming out of a timeout with mere seconds left on the clock, Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving) reminds Preacher (Chris Webber) that they have no more timeouts. This is in reference to an incident during the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament on April 5, 1993. During that game, the real life Webber called a timeout with 11 seconds remaining in the game. Unfortunately, his team, the Michigan Wolverines, who were down 73-71 against North Carolina, didn't have any timeouts left. The call earned Webber a technical foul, and ended up costing the Wolverines the chance to win. Although Webber went on to have an illustrious career in the NBA, he continues to receive ridicule for that error.

Featured review
Ok-I admit I watched this 'on spec' after seeing the UNCLE DREW clips on YouTube (you know they dress Kyrie Irving up as an old man, Uncle Drew, & send him out to play street ball
With the young guys, eh😊?). So, I invested $$ in renting the movie, and it is a lot of fun. There's a few touching moments, but it's not overly sentimental. Some aging former NBA stars (Reggie, Shaquille, etc.) are made up to look even older, but these guys can still shoot. Irving is maybe 28, but looks like a convincing pensioner.
A young guy assembles this team to compete in a high stakes 5 on 5 tourney in Harlem.
Worth every penny. Fun for the whole family.
