JIMMY DOLAN WENT TO RECRUIT A NEW PLAYER. WHAT HE FOUND WAS A WHOLE NEW BALLGAME.
Jimmy Dolan is a college basketball coach who wants a big promotion. To get it, he needs to make a dramatic find. He ends up deep in Africa, hoping to recruit Saleh, a huge basketball prodigy Jimmy glimpsed in a home movie. But Saleh is the chief's son and has responsibilities at home, since the tribe's land is threatened by a mining company with its own hotshot basketball team.
