ATLANTIC CITY, NJ — No jokes here: Comedian Adam Sandler took a break from his busy schedule to play a game of pick-up basketball with a group of local kids before his Atlantic City show over the weekend.
Sandler stopped by a court on Pennsylvania Avenue Saturday afternoon, a few hours before he was set to take the stage at the Hard Rock, Breaking AC reported. The kids, a group of middle schoolers, were in disbelief it really was Sandler at first.
They were more than happy to let him join their game, NBC 10 reported.
