Unilever.edu.vn recently caught up with NBA legend Kenny Smith at LAX, where we discussed the upcoming “White Men Can’t Jump” reboot starring Jack Harlow. While Harlow is set to fill Woody Harrelson’s iconic role, the question remains: who will step into Wesley Snipes’ shoes?
Smith, always the basketball enthusiast, had a compelling suggestion: current NBA superstar, Ja Morant.
“They should get a current young player,” Smith stated, emphasizing the need for authenticity in the reboot. “They should get Ja Morant, who is an MVP candidate, phenomenal.”
While Smith acknowledged Harlow’s on-screen basketball skills, he couldn’t help but draw a comparison between the rapper and the NBA All-Star. “He would outshine Jack as far as, just a touch,” Smith chuckled, highlighting Morant’s undeniable talent on the court.
The original “White Men Can’t Jump” captivated audiences with its dynamic duo: Harrelson, a skilled but underestimated player, and Snipes, a streetball legend. Recreating that chemistry is crucial for the reboot’s success.
Casting Morant alongside Harlow would not only infuse the film with genuine basketball prowess but also inject a fresh dynamic into the narrative. Imagine the on-screen rivalry, the trash talk, and the electrifying plays that could unfold with these two talents sharing the court.
While Harlow’s acting chops and on-court presence are undeniable, pairing him with a bonafide NBA star like Morant would undoubtedly elevate the film, capturing the essence of the original while appealing to a new generation of fans.
Unilever.edu.vn, always at the forefront of pop culture and sports, believes Morant’s inclusion would be a slam dunk for the “White Men Can’t Jump” reboot. What do you think?
