I always love how in the end, he doesn't get the girl. Not many movies are willing to do that and have the main character literally learn nothing. All the women who see it are prolly like "No way he's stupid enough to gamble her money again.." and all the dudes are like "Yeah but it's the King and Duck!"

Loved this movie. Me and my buddy were going to start a 2 man basketball team, and go down to the ghetto to play. We soon realized we were not very good at basketball, and we were too white anyway.

Always think it'll change.


I used to watch this movie ALL the time on Comedy Central in the summer when I was younger. And then I would go out and play basketball for four hours in my driveway.

It was a breath of fresh air in 1992.

A similar movie might be fun right now too with all of the divisiveness in today's politics.

We need black, white and brown folks making fun of each other. People need to lighten the F up.

Don't worry, Brad Paisley and LL Cool J are bridging the racial gap as we speak.

Woody Harrelson doesn't get the credit he deserves as an actor, imo. The guy is so versatile. And Wesley Snipes was no slouch either.

And how many cut fingers resulted from the chain net. I thought I ripped my finger off one time.

I'd give anything to know who this friend is and to watch this game.
