Blake Griffin could soon add another line to his resume.

The Los Angeles Clippers power forward is teaming up with "Blackish" writer Kenya Barris to remake 1990s basketball movie "White Men Can't Jump," according to Borys Kit from the Hollywood Reporter.

Griffin's production company, Mortal Media, which he formed last summer with Carolina Panthers center Ryan Kalil, will co-produce the remake along with Barris, who will also be writing the script.

Griffin's company has several other projects in the works, including a remake of Disney's "The Rocketeer."

The original "White Men Can't Jump" was released in 1992, with Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes starring as two street ball hustlers in Venice Beach, Calif.
