Synopsis

Jamal Jeffries is one basketball star who stirs up heat both on and off the court. This player's got game, girls and attitude to spare. But when one confrontation too many gets him booted out of the league, Jamal is gonna need a lot more than a good agent to get him back on the courts. He'll need brains, creative ball-handling and the right shade of lipstick. Jamal's only chance to get his game back is to join up with the other league--the women's basketball league. With coerced support from his reluctant agent and a heavily padded sports bra, Jamal transforms himself from the bad boy of basketball to its newest female role model: Juwanna Mann! It's tough enough for Jamal/Juwanna to contend with fierce competition on the court and proper protocol in the ladies' locker room, but his identity crisis hits another snag when he falls for team captain Michelle Langford. Too bad Michelle is already tight with smooth-talking lady killer Romeo, a dawg with moves sprung straight from Jamal's old bad boy playbook. And when rapper Puff Smokey Smoke tries to score with Juwanna, there's more balls in play than Jamal knows how to handle. It's going to be an uphill climb for Jamal to bounce back, but by the buzzer, he'll learn that to be a better man--and ballplayer--he's gotta get in touch with his feminine side.
