Through the darkest magic possible, a dumb kid becomes a wisecracking pro-athlete, dribbling with his favorite basketball stars in NBA, only to find he’s rewriting the playbook on the hardest court of all…life. That movie was, of course, 2002’s Like Mike starring Lil’ Bow Wow.
2012’s Thunderstruck is, on the other hand, the off-brand version of that – a broken-fever dream starring Kevin Durant as himself, sadly.
Surprisingly not a Christian movie, it’s about all high school wannabe-jock Brian (Taylor Gray) trying out for the team, only to be cut only for being terrible. While the one-man blooper show does his thing, across town, Kevin Durant has a showstopping highlight reel, spotlighting that he’s the (apparently) greatest player ever.
