==Plot synopsis==

{{spoiler}}

[[Woody Harrelson]] plays Billy Hoyle, a talented [[basketball]] player whose only source of income is to play on people's prejudices that [[White American]] people cannot play basketball very well. He uses his talent to earn money by hustling streetball players. The 'hustle' is even more provoking as Billy never plays badly to increase the money stakes, although he does act slightly more goofy than usual. Instead, the [[African-American]] basketball players in [[Venice Beach]] simply assume that as a 'white guy', Billy cannot play. The opening scene is set as [[Wesley Snipes]]' character, Sidney Deane loses a game to Billy in front of all of his friends on the playground in [[Venice Beach, CA]].
