Kevin Dunn, Michael Michele, David Paymer

Touchstone Pictures; Directed by Randall Miller

Rated PG-13; 109 minutes; 1997

Just as college basketball star Antoine Tyler (Kadeem Hardison) is about to realize his dream of making it to the NCAA Championships, he dies, leaving his brother Kenny (Marlon Wayans) to lead the Washington Huskies to victory. Heartbroken, Kenny loses his drive to win until Antoine’s ghost reappears determined to take his team all the way. The outcome is both comedic and heartfelt as Kenny comes to unfortunately realize he must ask "The Sixth Man" to leave the team so he and his teammates can play fair and square.
