Overview

Billy Hoyle looks like he wandered onto the wrong court, and that is exactly the point. The white guy in a Jimi Hendrix shirt gets dismissed by every pickup game in Los Angeles, which suits his hustle perfectly. When Sidney Deane figures out the con, the two men do not fight over it so much as fold it into a partnership. What follows is a sharp, funny film about ego, pride, money, and what it actually means to respect someone.
