A white former NBA professional retires from the pro game and gets a job as a basketball coach in a predominantly black inner-city high school.
Reese, Carver High's star player, is pressured to quit school by his girlfriend, who says she's pregnant and desperate to get married.
The team heads for Las Vegas to compete in a basketball game, but ends up competing—and losing—at the gaming tables instead.

Pugnacious Salami (Timothy Van Patten) throws a jaw-breaking punch on the basketball court—and is charged with assault.
