| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
In the early 1970s, there were two basketball leagues in America
- while the NBA ruled the sport, the ABA was defined by its
outlaw flair and sensational showmanship. In the comedy Semi-Pro,
Will Ferrell plays Jackie Moon, the one-hit singing sensation
behind "Love Me Sexy," who relishes his role as
owner, coach and power forward for the fictional Flint, Michigan
Tropics of the ABA.
But when the NBA announces a plan to merge with the ABA and
only take with them the four teams with the best records,
disbanding the rest of the ABA squads forever, Moon, assisted
by former NBA benchwarmer Ed Monix (Woody Harrelson) and flamboyant
Clarence "Downtown" Withers (Andre Benjamin), decides
to rally his motley team for an unlikely eleventh-hour pursuit
of acceptance and glory.
