Sidney Deane (Wesley Snipes) thinks he's the hottest basketball player on the streets of down-town Los Angeles. But one day Billy Hoyle (Woody Harrelson) wanders onto Deane's court & forces him to reconsider. The two players then proceed to fight it out, on & off the court, both against each other & on the same team, as they make & lose money in some high-stakes hoop contests. Written & directed by the master of the sport movie, Ron Shelton (' Bull Durham', ' Tin Cup' & ' Cobb').
