Lil Rel Howery & Nick Kroll on Playing Hoops with NBA Legends

Their new sports comedy, Uncle Drew, hits theaters this week!

Uncle Drew comedians Lil Rel Howery and Nick Kroll sit down with Dave Morales to talk about working with Kyrie Irving and playing hoops with NBA legends from the past.

The film’s synopsis:

After draining his life savings to enter a team in the Rucker Classic street ball tournament in Harlem, Dax (Lil Rel Howery) is dealt a series of unfortunate setbacks, including losing his team to his longtime rival (Nick Kroll). Desperate to win the tournament and the cash prize, Dax stumbles upon the man, the myth, the legend UNCLE DREW (NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving) and convinces him to return to the court one more time. The two men embark on a road trip to round up Drew’s old basketball squad (Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson, and Lisa Leslie) and prove that a group of septuagenarians can still win the big one.

Uncle Drew hits theaters June 29th. Check out the full interview with Howery and Kroll below!
