A great example of basketball on film. Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes play basketball hustlers making rounds through the playground basketball courts of Los Angeles. Using his "whiteness", Harrelson's character cons black basketball players into thinking he's an easy win on the court.

The movie moves beyond the theme of race and touches on issues of brotherhood, loyalty, and love among others. White Men Can't Jump is less about the fine points of the game than it is the rules by which players survive it. The film is about trusting those close to us to ensure success regardless of what the goal is. The numorous basketball scenes through out the movie are fantastic as well as funny. The scenes of trash talking street ball players bantering back and forth are quite hilarious.
