White Men Can't Jump
Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson are hoop hustlers Sidney and Billy in this 1992 sports comedy. The unlikely duo team up to shake down every street basketballer in town. But when their egos clash and Billy's money problems draw the attention of local gangs, the con game may fall apart.

Roger Ebert
Here is a comedy of great high spirits, with an undercurrent of sadness and sweetness that makes it a lot better than the plot itself could possibly suggest.

It’s overly long and the Rosie Perez sub-plot leads it astray, but mostly, it rocks.
