* AdaptationDisplacement: Strangely enough, the movie is rarely mentioned nowadays but the Atari Jaguar game is infamous for its awful quality, and has several times made it to "worst game ever" lists.

unfortunate implications need citations


* UnfortunateImplications: The film's title comes from the saying, "White men can't jump, and black men can't think", which some critics thought the film was endorsing.
** Actually, however, the film is a {{Deconstruction}} of that phrase. Not only does Billy prove he can jump (especially at the end, when [[spoiler: he finally dunks the ball]]), Sidney is shown to be a lot more intelligent than Billy, and someone who thinks things through, unlike Billy, who lets his emotions get the best of him.
