i play basketball and i love this movie. in my opinion, this, stranger than fiction and anchorman are ferrell's only good movies. harrelson is good. if you like basket ball and woody harrelson, then you should definitely check out white men can't jump if you haven't seen it already. its fantastic. my favourite sports movie. in fact, you should see it even if you don't like basketball. its brilliant.
