“I have to admit, I loved the ads when I first saw them a couple of years. What ads some might ask. The ads where Kyrie Irving played a fictional character called u0026quot;Uncle Drewu0026quot;. I donu0026#39;t know how staged they were or if especially the first one people actually knew that under all that (really well done) makeup, was one of the best ballers – Kyrie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFast forward to 2018 and we get a movie based on that character that was only meant to sell a product. How could that be any good? And yet it is. If you are not too cynical that is. We are talking about a predictable story about a manager who could have been in the Jerry Maguire school of how to make money fast. But we know there is more. And there are more basketball players too – all playing different characters. Funny and hearfelt this really may touch you”
