White Men Can't Jump

“It ain't easy being this good.”

Billy Hoyle (Woody Harrelson) wants one thing, to get paid, and he works the outdoor courts by playing up the way he looks, a white guy in loose shorts nobody takes seriously. Then he runs into Sidney Deane (Wesley Snipes), a streetball hustler working the same angle from the other side. Ron Shelton writes it as a comedy about two men who talk constantly and trust each other very little.
