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.
