Thunderstruck Page #4

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.

He would have made it

if the basket was 8 feet instead of 10.

- Make it 1.

- Watch this, watch this.

Can't even make a free throw.

That's embarrassing.

You've been working with him,

haven't you, big fella?

Listen, Shaq was not that bad.

Thank you, Kenny.

A local player from right here in Oklahoma

City could be the next Kevin Durant.

You can do it!

He looks like the old Kevin Durant, not the

current KD. Nobody knows who that guy is.

And it's hard to believe this is the same kid

who tried this halftime shot...

...at the Thunder game a couple weeks ago.

Run, Rumble! Save your mascot life.

- What was that?

- Looks like it hurt.

He must have stolen

Kevin Durant's talent.

Fans hope he gives it back.

Oh, KD. Where is he, right?

Wow.

That's it! Go! Go!

Ga!

Came an!

Let's go! Let's go!

- I finally figured out who he reminds me cf.

- Who?

- Me.

- Let's go.

- Time cut.

Hustle in.

All right, guys. All right.

Just keep doing what you're doing.

Put it in!

- One, two, three!

- Hard work!

You thought she was waving at you, huh?

Shut up.

Okay. Great. Let's go.

Let's go. Pick it up.

- Came an, move it.

One.

Ball. Ball.

Here you go. Coal.

- Hey. Ya, KD.

- What up?

Sit. Sit dawn.

Sit dawn, let me talk to you.

- You've known me a long time, right?

- Yeah.

And I've always told you the truth.

Goad, bad, no matter what.

I know this is gonna sound crazy.

I mean, this is gonna sound crazy--

Just tell me. Just tell me.

Look, I think I know

where your game has gone.

- Huh?

- Somebody tank it.

Somebody tank it?

Remember the kid

who tank the shat at the Thunder game?

- Yeah.

- Uh-huh.

And he drilled Rumble.

And you autographed a ball for him.

Yeah, I remember.

He's the best player in Oklahoma.

All right, so?

Sc before meeting you,

the kid used to suck.

He used to suck so bad

he wasn't an the high school team.

He was a towel bay.

I went to his game, right?

He lit it up 52 paints.

Fifty-two paints

against the second-best team in the district.

Yeah.

I mean, it was like watching you play

if you was 14 years old.

Sn, what are you trying to say, man?

I don't know.

Somehow, this kid got, stole, found--

I don't haw this happened,

but this kid has your talent.

Yeah, and your sanity. You're tripping.

- Really?

- Yeah, really.

KD, came an, man.

Came an, KD. Seriously, man.

Lack, I know this sounds crazy.

- Oh, do you?

- Yes, I dc.

You're telling me this kid swapped talents

with me?

Swapping would mean you gut something

in return.

I mean, this was a one-sided deal.

I mean, this kid was bad, okay?

But he can't be as bad as you are now.

Na offense.

Lack, Alan, man, I lave you, man.

You do a lat for me.

You even gut some good ideas sometimes.

But if you put this idea cut,

I guarantee you're fired.

- Heh. Dropping an F-bomb?

- I'm not laughing.

Real-- The F-bomb?

Look, I'm trying to help you out, man

This is--

My baby likes to rock it

Every night when the sun goes down

Yeah, my baby likes to rock it

Every night when the sun goes down

Sc you don't know him?

Just met him after our last game.

Same senior.

If you don't know him,

why did he drive us here?

He's a really big basketball fan.

Hm.

Does that happen a lat in Oklahoma?

I don't think so.

You know,

this is all kind of new to me tan.

You're comfortable with this?

Yeah, see,

school hasn't always been fun for me.

This is kind of fun.

- I'm having fun tan.

- Yeah?

Yeah.

Little secret?

Denver was not always fun for me.

You? I find that hard to believe.

Na, seriously. I was more an the cuts

with the in crowd, you know.

Once again, hard to believe.

I think you were the in crowd.

- Mm-mm. No, no, no. l wish.

- Wow.

- Damn.

- Na.

See, I knew I hated Denver for a reason

besides those Broncos.

- Thanks.

- Mm-hm.

Sn, uh, what happened?

It's a long story. It was a soccer thing.

Oh, okay. Nice and cryptic.

Brian Newall. Ha, ha!

- What--?

- Yeah?

- I knew that was you.

- Okay.

Man, incredible basketball talent

you possess.

Thank you, sir.

I mean, you just burst out an the scene.

- I guess, yeah.

- I mean, l just never heard of you before.

Excuse me.

I don't mean to be rude, but we're, uh...

- We're kind of--

- On a date.

- We are, officially?

- Yeah.

Oh, an a date. I'm sorry.

I just-- You know, I really know talent

when I see it. I'm Kevin Durant's agent.

No way! Kevin Durant's agent'?

- Yes way.

- That's awesome.

He's Kevin Durant's agent.

I thought you said this was

some community outreach program...

...far underprivileged schools?

Lack, this is all relative. All right?

Think of it as a way to get your mind

off things, know what I'm saying?

Give back to the kids.

You might get something back in return.

Came an. Let's go. Let's go.

Young man, stay in school.
