Will Ferrell stars in "Semi-Pro", an outrageous comedy set in 1976 against
the backdrop of the maverick ABA - a fast-paced, wild and crazy basketball
league that rivaled the NBA and made a name for itself with innovations like the
three-point shot and slam dunk contest.
Ferrell plays Jackie Moon, a one-hit
wonder who used the profits from the success of his chart-topping song "Love Me
Sexy" to achieve his dream of owning a basketball team.
But Moon’s franchise,
the Flint Michigan Tropics, is the worst team in the league and in danger of
folding when the ABA announces its plans to merge with the NBA.
