Adam Sandler had a special message for Hustle co-star Juancho 'Bo Cruz' Hernangomez after Spain takes gold in EuroBasket over France.

It turned out to be a breakout performance by Hernangomez as he played the role of Bo Cruz, a highly-talented international player trying to make his way in the NBA. After navigating free agency this summer, Hernangomez signed a one-year deal with the Toronto Raptors. This prompted a special message from Hollywood superstar Adam Sandler as he congratulated Hustle co-star Juancho “Bo Cruz” Hernangomez for their gold-medal conquest.

Hollywood star Adam Sandler recently congratulated fellow "Hustle" star Juancho Hernangomez after he led Spain to a EuroBasket trophy against France.

Sandler, who cast Juancho and Anthony Edwards for the movie Hustle, congratulated the Spaniard on social media. While it was the likes of Willy Hernangomez leading the squad until the Finals, this time his brother Juancho Hernangomez stepped to the plate for Spain. With pull-up threes all across the court, France simply had no answer for the Spaniards and eventually lost the Finals by 12 points.

Toronto Raptors PF Juancho Hernangomez set a record with seven three-pointers in a 27-point effort for Spain, who defeated France in the EuroBasket final.

Hernangomez averaged 12.8 points and 5.0 rebounds per game with Spain in this competition. Hernangomez shot 52% from the field and 38% from 3-point range while attempting just over five triples per contest. Hernangomez was trusted to be one of the main offensive catalysts for Spain, and he did not disappoint. All signs are pointing towards him making the final roster. France, led by Rudy Gobert and Evan Fournier, was unable to take down the Raptors’ backup despite some strong performances of their own. The final was his crowning achievement.

'Hustle,' a Netflix release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for language. Some might say 'Hustle' verges close to NBA advertisement, but Zagar, a South Philly native who emerged with the 2018 indie 'We the Animals,' frames the pros who populate his film like people and players, rather than stars. Life on the road has beaten him down - his wife, Teresa (Queen Latifah) and daughter (Jordan Hull) are accustomed to his absences - and Stanley harbors dreams of transitioning to the coaching ranks. With each appearance, the distance between 'Hustle' and the actual NBA grows increasingly small. 'Uncut Gems,' one of his most recent leading roles, as a gambling-addicted jeweler with a big bet on a Boston Celtics game, veered closer to the sport and co-starred Kevin Garnett. It's also a clever twist that Bo's greatest talent is his defense, and his biggest hurdle to success is keeping his cool. Back on the road, Stanley is in Spain when he notices a crowd gathering outside a gym, on the blacktop. In the film, Bo Cruz, played by Juancho Hernangomez, is discovered playing street ball in Spain by Sandler, a globe-trotting Philadelphia 76ers scout. For France, it was another medal - and another instance of coming up a bit short of the shiniest medal. Hernangomez had his most success in Minneapolis, averaging a career-high 29.4 minutes, 12.9 points, and 7.3 rebounds a game. 'Bo Cruz!' Sandler wrote in a congratulatory tweet, referencing Juancho's character name from the movie. 'I'm feeling extremely proud of my teammates, of my coaching staff, of all the Spanish federation from the top to the bottom.
