Semi Pro



Semi Pro,
Three men, Jackie Moon, Monix, and Clarence each have the same dream.
It's 1976 in Flint, Michigan.
Jackie Moon's American Basketball Association team languishes in last place, with few fans in the seats. Jackie dreams of a merger with the NBA.
Monix, a tough-minded point guard is at the end of his career; he's played on the champion Celtics but accepts a trade to Flint to be close to Lynn, the love of his life. Clarence "Coffee" Brown dreams of stardom: he's the Tropics' best player, but he's a hot dog who doesn't value teamwork.
When the trio learns that a merger is in the works that won't include the Tropics, they pull the team together to try to achieve the impossible.
Jackie Moon must orchestrate a successful season both on the court, and financially off the court with the help of many odd promotional events, in order to remain in the sport he loves.
