Like Mike (2002)
One day when a box of used clothes arrives, orphanage inhabitant Calvin discovers a pair of trainers inscribed with the initials of his all time basketball hero Michael Jordan. These magical shoes transform him into a NBA superstar and with them he finds he can shoot hoops like a pro. He is quickly signed to struggling NBA team The Knights whose boss, Frank Bernard, believes a kid on the bench will boost much needed ticket sales. Calvin finds himself staying with star player Tracey Reynolds who reluctantly takes the new team member under his wing.

As the team struggles to win, Knights’ coach Wagner decides to give Calvin a shot in a game and finds, to his surprise that Calvin and Tracey make a winning team. With his boundless enthusiasm and team spirit Calvin proves to be just what The Knights need to give them a chance at the playoffs.

Despite his newfound stardom, Calvin still has to cope with the scheming owner of the orphanage, Stan Bittleman who is determined to stop Calvin being adopted and cash in on his success… Will Calvin be able to keep hold of the magic shoes? Can The Knights win the playoff? Will he and his friends finally find parents?
