Set in 1976, "Semi-Pro" tells the story of the maverick ABA - a fresh basketball league that rivaled the NBA and made a name for itself with innovations like the three-point shot and slam-dunk contest. Will Ferrell plays Jackie Moon, a one-hit wonder who used the profits from the success of his chart-topping song "Love Me Sexy" to achieve his dream of owning a basketball team. But Moon's franchise, the Flint Michigan Tropics, is the worst team in the league and in danger of folding when the ABA announces its plans to merge with the NBA. If they want to survive, Jackie and the Tropics must now do the seemingly impossible - win.

What I loved most: The eyeliner promotion
The show was hilariously funny..I almost fell off my seat laughing too hard...1) It's a story set in the 70s about 4 teams from ABA to be chosen to merge with NBA...2) Will Ferrell's team sucks in basketball, so in order to get into the 4th place to merge with NBA,... he came up with a lot of promotional gicks and try to work harder his team by recruiting a pro from another team to coach them....
