Short description
Jackie Moon is the owner, promoter, coach, and star player of the Flint Michigan Tropics of the American Basketball Association (ABA), the worst team in the league. In 1976 before the ABA collapses, the NBA plans to merge with the best teams of the ABA at the end of the season. Only the top four teams will make the move and the worst teams will fold. If the Tropics want to make it to the NBA, Jackie Moon must rally his team and start winning.
What's left behind the scenes
- The last film from New Line Cinema before its acquisition by Warner Bros.
- The names of all the teams in the American Basketball Association and the players' uniforms are based on real life. The fictional team Flint Tropics and its players' uniforms are the only exceptions.
- Lou Redwood threatens Cornelius Blank with a Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolver. In the 1970s, this was standard issue for American police.
- In April 2008, the bear Rocky, who fought Will Ferrell's character, killed Stefan Miller. Thirty-nine-year-old Miller was a bear trainer and a cousin of one of Ferrell's stunt doubles.
