Thunderstruck

Synopsis: A fun and energetic family basketball movie starring Kevin Durant AS HIMSELF, a basketball star who switches talent with a klutzy 16 year old fan. When Brian, a hopelessly uncoordinated young fan magically switches talents with his hero, Kevin Durant, he becomes the star of his high school team...while Kevin Durant suddenly can't make a shot to save his life. But with the playoffs approaching, Brian learns that being a true winner involves working hard at your own game, and he tries to make things right in time to prevent a catastrophic end to his hero's season.

The score, ladies and gentlemen, is Rams, 45...

Okay. Listen up.

This is a basketball team...

not a golf team, correct?

Hm?

- Coach, is this a basketball or a golf team?

- Basketball team.

Basketball team.

And unlike golf, a law scare is bad.

Now, so far, the only person

that seems to understand...

...what that little circular thingy is,

you know, with the little net an it...

...is Connor here. Now, come on.

Get out there, put some pressure an,

put some jelly in that doughnut.

Now, hit it.

Nice catch.

Sit dawn.

- Coach.

- Yeah?

- What's that kid's name?

- Manager.

Manager.

Sit dawn.

Sit.

Ya, face up. Alley-cap. Crunch time.

That's another-

Cross left, cross right, cross-

Oh, you don't know what's happening.

Whoa! Basket.

Dunk. He's so good.

You can't guard him.

You can't guard KD.

Oh, beam, that's another dunk.

Yes. And the crowd goes crazy.

Uh, let's see that one again.

Get up there. Baum!

I can do that.

I'm ready.

Ow!

Ow! Ah.

You're dead.

- Ashley!

- Aah!

Once again,

Thunder fans, thanks for coming cut.

Our final score is 103-101.

Kevin Durant,

another amazing game tonight.

Thirty-two paints, 11 boards, 8 assists.

You're leading the league

in scaring again...

...not to mention on pace to set

a number of personal best records.

- What's your secret?

- Na secret. It's just haw I work.

Haw did you get open

for that game winner?

- Now, that's a secret. We gotta go.

- Agents.

Agents. Yeah, well, the secret

worked tonight, guys. Back to you.

Hey, KD!

Ya, KD.

- You save them an autograph?

It's all good. He's gonna sign all this.

- He's gonna sign your balls.

- Sign the baby!

A baby? You want him to sign a baby?

- Na. I'll take a picture. Rather take a picture.

- He can't sign the baby.

Don't forget. You promised to ref

the bays and girls basketball game, 50...

Na. Na numbers. We don't take numbers.

Uh-uh. Mm-mm.

Kevin, before you go...

Hey, man. Sc I hacked the web-vite

for Stacy King's party and we're in.

You're kidding me.

Well, I put us dawn for a "maybe"

so it wasn't obvious.

You actually hacked

into somebody's web-vite'?

Well, would you rather sit home Saturday?

No, no. I mean, I'd rather just--

I think it's-- Where will we--?

Yeah.

Her name is Isabel Sanchez.

Oh, yeah. She just moved here from Denver.

Her dad is some engineer

working an a project...

...over at Gallagher Communications.

How did you--?

Did you actually talk to her?

She's the hottest new girl that's moved here

since Cindy Wilson in the sixth grade.

Everybody in my "World of Warcraft" guild

was texting about it after we saw her.

Although, I could have

a couple facts wrong.

She could be visiting from Los Angeles

with her mom...

who's a flight attendant.

Her name is definitely Isabel.

Nat sure about the Sanchez, though.

Do you want me to try to hack

into the school server to find out for sure?

I'm a nerd, Bri.

I'm okay with that. I embrace it.

I'm gonna talk to her.

Goad. You have three years

to keep that dream alive.

Just like making the basketball team.

And like I said,

I admire your optimism, I do, but--

Whoa! Wait. Now?

Look, she's new. She doesn't know

anything about me. I have a clean slate.

Ugh.

Hey, hey, everybody, watch this.

Why are we doing this again?

- Because I wanna dunk like KD.

All right, ready?

Hang time, baby. Whoo!

Whoa!

That hurt.

- Aww.

- Help.

Ashley, get that camera out of my face.

Hang Time! Hang Time! Hang Time!

Hey, Josie, wait up.

Connor is a jerk.

You're not gonna tell me

to ignore him, are you?

What? Na way. I would say give him hell.

You know, if you were bigger,

or richer, or more talented.

- But, well, he's a jerk.

- Thanks.

.Hey-

.Hey-

- Heard you had a rough day.

- Yep.

- Can I try to cheer you up?

- Doubtful.

That's tan bad. I was gonna see

if you wanted to go to the Thunder game.

- Really?

- Really.

T-shirts! Souvenirs! T-shirts! Souvenirs!

You know, this whale "cheer me up" thing

just might work.

I kind of hoped it might.

Get 'em, get 'em

Get 'em, get 'em, get 'em

Get 'em, get 'em, get 'em

Get 'em, get 'em, get 'em

And my team gonna ride tonight

Okay, 13 and 14. This is us.

This is all they had left.

- They're perfect. Thanks, Dad.

- You're welcome.

Yeah!

- Oh, yes!

- Oh! Ha-ha-ha!

- Yes! Yes! Yes!

- Oh, yeah! Whoa!

KD for two.

Yeah!

KD! KD! KD!

Dawn in front, kid. Came an.

Yes! Kevin Durant

an an absolute tear tonight.

Unbelievable, Marv. He's in a great groove,

playing with so much confidence.

I don't know

if we've seen him play better.

What's impressed me is haw he continues

to improve every part of his game...

...bath offensively and defensively.

Something I'm sure that opponents

of the Thunder are not very happy to see.

Yeah. Like tonight.

That's the end

of the first half with our scare...

...the Thunder, 51,

the Detroit Pistons, 31.

You see the crossover move when he went

around the guy with eight minutes left?

That was just sick.

See, Dad, that's his counter 52 move.

You pay this much attention

to your math class?

Because if you did, we'd be talking

academic scholarship to Harvard.

Dad, Kevin Durant doesn't teach

my math class.

Goad paint.

Thunder fans, get out your ticket stubs.

It's time for one lucky

Oklahoma City fan...

...to take our MidFirst Bank

half-court shot.

Section 305.

Oh!

Raw F.

- Wow.

- That's our raw.

Seat 14.

Oh, yes! Whoa! Yeah!

Hey. You wan. Came an, Brian.

- You won.

- Yeah! I won. I won.

- Yeah!

- I wan. I gotta go. I need to go.

I'm gonna go.

There he is, Thunder fans.

Couldn't have gut anybody closer?

All right! Whoa! Brian!

All right, Thunder fans. Here he is.

I think we're ready for tonight's

MidFirst Bank half-court shot contest.

Brian Newall.

Brian. Where are you from?

Uh, I'm from Oklahoma.

- Haw old are you?

- Sixteen.

Sixteen years old, ladies and gentlemen.

Brian, here's what's gonna happen.

If you can make a half-court shat...

you're leaving here with $20,000.

Sweet.

Oh, hang an.

- Okay. Coal.

This is a one-of-a-kind

commemorative Thunder basketball.

All right, Brian!

Hey, Hang Time!

Drumroll. Give me a drumroll, please.

Ladies and gentlemen,
