Two famous comedians, one with 'Cuse ties, went toe to toe with Syracuse basketball

Okay, the headline is a bit of a joke. Pun intended.

Apparently, famous comedians Adam Sandler and Kevin James, who are good friends and have worked together on movies, were on the Hill on Wednesday, according to X posts. Full disclosure: Sandler and James are two of my all-time favorite comedic actors. I've watched Sandler's movies countless times, and I was a huge fan of "The King of Queens."

Thanks to @AdamSandler for stopping by and playing pickup today! ud83cudf4aud83cudfc0@Cuse_MBB @CuseWBB pic.twitter.com/lcbZafGkKi

Per the Syracuse Athletics X account, Sandler played in a pickup game with Syracuse men's and women's basketball.
