It's about two [[{{Hustler}} basketball hustlers]], Sidney Deane (Snipes) and Billy Hoyle (Harrelson) who work the playground courts of Los Angeles. When Billy ends ups hustling Sidney, Sidney proposes the two of them team up to play in a tournament and to hustle other players as a warm-up beforehand. Written and directed by Creator/RonShelton of ''Film/BullDurham'' and later, ''Film/TinCup'', the movie boasts his signature snappy dialogue and a real handle on athletes and their egos. Also bizarrely got an InNameOnly video game adaptation for the ill-fated Platform/AtariJaguar.

* FatalFlaw: Billy's is his {{pride}}. He wins a game he was paid to throw, which is why he's on the run from the Stuccis. He stupidly bets (and loses) his tournament winnings that he can dunk, just because Sidney doesn't believe he can and Billy's ego can't take it. Later, he bets on a basketball game after promising Gloria he wouldn't, at least partially to prove he's still good enough to beat King and Duck.

First, this is the entire source of the problem between him and the Stucci brothers; they paid him to throw a game, but one of the opposing players insulted his ability, he took offense, and ended up winning a game he was supposed to lose, which made the Stucci brothers upset, and now he's on the run.

* BaitAndSwitch: After Billy pays off the Stuccis, we see a shot of him lying on the ground with BloodFromTheMouth while a camera flashes. It's set up to appear like a crime scene, and the Stuccis whacked him. [[spoiler:It turns out it was a deliberately faked scene and the Stuccis are the ones taking the pictures. They let him walk away, but keep the photo to add to their album, for the sake of their ruthless reputation.]]

** First, after an ostensible team-up, he hustles Billy out of $1700 which was all he and Gloria had, then refuses to even entertain the idea of giving it back. Gloria has to talk to Rhonda to work out a plan for them to get the money a different way.
** Then, after winning the tournament Billy can't take the blow to his ego by Sidney's insinuation that he can't dunk, so he impulsively bets Sidney his half of the winnings that he can do it. Sidney is sure Billy won't be able to do it and tries to talk him out of it, but he still takes the bet when he could have flat-out refused.
** Finally, he shows zero remorse at the end when Gloria leaves Billy, despite his part in how it happened. See NeverMyFault.
