Hollywood and professional basketball joined forces on the blue carpet at the Uncle Drew premiere held in NYC recently.

What started as a series of Pepsi commercials is now a whole movie. And it hit theaters today. The comedy follows a desperate basketball coach who goes tries his damnedest to fulfill a lifelong dream of entering (and winning) the Rucker Classic street basketball tournament in Harlem. Lil Rel Howery plays Dax, who's desperate to win the cash prize. After meeting Uncle Drew (played by Kyrie Irving), he embarks on a road trip to round up all of Drew's former basketball squad (including Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson and Lisa Leslie).

The Get Out actor stepped on the carpet, bringing his kiddies along for the ride.

“I got the chance to work with people I look up to,” Lil Rel told Variety. “It was surreal. To see them come into our world was great.”

Boston Celtics baller Kyrie Irving should have showed up in his Uncle Drew costume. Ha! Instead, he kept it dapper and suave on the carpet.

Three-time WNBA MVP Lisa Leslie looked angelic in a white dress with her kiddies. We're sure they loved seeing their mom made up like an old lady in the film.
