A self-absorbed professional basketball player gets booted out the NBA for disciplinary reasons for being a 'bad boy'.
His agent immediately starts trying to get him reinstated.
In the meantime, to keep playing, the player disguises himself as a woman and joins the WNBA. He helps propel the team to the playoffs. Along the way, he falls in love with one of his teammates. He also changes from a selfish ball-hog into a sensitive, sharing and caring person.
In the game before the championship his wig falls off and his secret is revealed to everyone and he's kicked off the team and out of the league.
When everyone hates him the most, he gives a heartfelt speech and motivates the team to win the championship.
At his NBA reinstatement meeting the women's team shows up and speaks on his behalf and gives him a championship ring.
He finds that the woman he's in love with likes him as well, and he gets reinstated to the NBA.
