There is no "I" in team. Stan Moss (Bernie Mac) plays a retired Milwaukee Brewers slugger who believed he had made 3,000 hits throughout his career, and has always believed in...himself.
Ross, after nine years in retirement, has found out that three of his 3,000 hits were disqualified. Determined to be accepted into the Hall of
Fame for his 3,000 hits, Mr. 3,000 returns to the Brewers to carry his success.
While learning from his past mistakes by teaching his teammates about teamwork, which he never participated in his earlier baseball career, he falls back in love with former lover Mo (Angela Bassett) and finally realizes there is no "I" in team.
Bernie Mac, although playing an obnoxious and conceited character, still throws in his great comedy for the viewers to laugh at.
Director Charles Stone III was very imaginative in every scene, for example running shows such as "Best Damn Sports Show Period" and "The Jay Leno Show" in the back of Ross, literally surrounding him with the hosts.
"Mr. 3000" is a lightweight laughter movie with a moral of teamwork.
