How Did Adam Sandler Get the Best Pro Golfers into Happy Gilmore 2? | Can the NBA Expand to Europe?

The NBA continues to build up its European presence, as the league announced the Grizzlies and Magic will play two regular-season games this upcoming 2026–27 season in Europe, one in Berlin and a second in London. The announcement comes as the league is reportedly exploring its own European league in partnership with FIBA, with London as one of the potential cities to have a team. FOS reporter Alex Schiffer breaks down the league’s international hopes and explains what that infamous photo making the rounds on social media of LeBron James, Maverick Carter, and Nikola Jokić’s agent on a yacht in France could really be about.

Meanwhile, WNBA star Sophie Cunningham continues to be big business, as the Indiana Fever guard launched a podcast called Show Me Something, cohosted by Cunningham and her childhood friend West Wilson of Bravo’s Summer House. FOS’s Tuned In writer Michael McCarthy has the latest on Cunningham’s deal with Colin Cowherd’s The Volume digital media company, plus Tracy McGrady joining his cousin Vince Carter as an analyst for NBC’s upcoming NBA coverage.

And Happy Gilmore 2 is breaking records for Netflix, as the streamer says the film generated 46.7 million views over its first three days, the biggest U.S. opening weekend of all time for a Netflix film, as well as the best for one of Sandler’s movies. FOS contributor Jake Kring-Schreifels spoke to Sandler about how he was able to convince the best golfers in the world, such as Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, and Bryson DeChambeau, to participate in the film and why other golf shows like Full Swing and Stick have become such a hit with audiences.
