Carlton (Alfonso Ribeiro) seethes with jealousy as Will (Will Smith) becomes the star of the prep-school basketball team. Worse, the team's obsequious coach (Dave Florek) treats Will like a pampered prima donna, allowing him to cut practice and slough off. The situation climaxes at a crucial basketball game, where Carlton is determined to show up Will--who for his part is enjoying the fact that he's finally been accepted by his wealthy peers, and isn't about to relinquish this honor. NBA legend Isiah Thomas appears as himself.
