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.

So, what is wrong with Kevin Durant?

in the league and he's playing like garbage.

So tell me this, specifically,

what is he doing wrong?

I don't think it's mechanics.

He's playing like a mechanic.

Something's wrong with him.

If it's not mechanics, he's not focused,

he's not concentrating.

Lacks like we might be running
