San Francisco Chronicle basketball writer Vic Worsley, known for his love of the game, his insightful columns, and his acerbic wit, is sacked after he does a column viciously maligning the Warriors' coach.

But then Ruby, an octogenarian ex-schoolteacher from nearby Oakland, convinces him to meet her adopted son, Spear, a 27-year-old seven-footer and the undisputed master of the court in the toughest part of town.
