murph and reg all three of them love to play basketball in the front yard of the orphanage one morning while they're in the middle of the game a group of bullies led by ox stops them he challenges calvin to a match for his basketball jersey while calvin's friends suggest he ignore the bully the ambitious boy wants to take on the challenge as his favorite basketball players would the match starts and ox easily wins against him because of the significant height difference as promised he gets calvin's jersey and rips it apart just to annoy him the orphanage director stan biddleman often makes the kids sell candy to raise money for their own good that night they go to the home game of the nba team los angeles knights and sell candies outside the arena at the end of the game calvin spots the knights coach wagger getting into a car to leave he approaches the man offering him some candies when the coach finds out that they're for a charity he offers calvin a twenty dollar bill however calvin refuses to take it because he isn't sure if the money they collect really goes to charity impressed by the kids honesty wagger offers him four tickets to the next basketball game an overjoyed calvin runs to murph to tell him about the tickets the next day a group of couples comes to the orphanage looking for a child to adopt at first calvin is hopeful but he soon realizes the parents only want younger kids later they are handed a box of donated clothes from the thrift store calvin gets his hands on a pair of shoes and tries them on when he asks the nun about the shoes she says that they belong to a famous basketball player on checking calvin finds michael b jordan's initials on it ox gets jealous of the shoes and takes them away he ties the laces together and throws them in the air to calvin's disappointment the shoes hang on the power cable at night a thunderstorm strikes when everyone else is asleep calvin wakes up murph and reg to retrieve the shoes from the cable they go outside in the heavy rainfall kelvin somehow manages to climb a tree near the cable he reaches for the shoes when suddenly lightning strikes right at them making calvin fall to the ground along with the shoes thankfully he doesn't get seriously hurt he notices that the shoes are charged with a weird force but doesn't think much of it the following day the children go to the arena yet again to sell candies calvin murph and reg get four tickets like the coach had promised ox and his group of friends see them and get jealous the bullies threatened to tell bittelman that they bought the tickets with the charity money to keep him from creating trouble calvin offers ox one of the tickets the four of them then enjoy the game between the knights and the minnesota timberwolves during halftime the team's star player tracy reynolds and one of the coaches take part in a halftime show intended to invite more audience members to the arena one person from the audience will get a chance to go one-on-one with tracy to the group's surprise calvin's ticket number gets selected for the contest when ox finds out he tries to snatch the ticket from his hands calvin somehow tricks him and runs to the front with his ticket tracy doesn't think much about the face-off since calvin is just a kid he lets him score the first round so the audience would be more involved but following that he has to stop the kid or he would be humiliated tracy tries his best yet cannot stop calvin from scoring a slam dunk the crowd freezes in shock and erupts into cheers while the star player is left embarrassed the following day knight's coaches go to meet bittelman and ask him to let calvin play for them for a day at first the director is reluctant but he agrees to let him go when he is offered money calvin's friends are overjoyed for him ox on the other hand is furious since calvin couldn't even win against ox before he got the shoes the kids deduced that the shoes are magical they decide to keep it a secret so no one would try to take them away but ox hears them talk the following day calvin enters the night's changing room much to tracy's annoyance the teammates ask tracy to brace himself because the kid is coming for his throne calvin is given a knight's jersey and a pair of new shoes that he has to wear he asks the coach if he can wear his old shoes but the coach doesn't care about the attire calvin's presence is only a publicity stunt so it wouldn't matter how he plays after the last match calvin's popularity has grown exponentially which has in turn increased the audience in the arena he doesn't get to play for the first half of the game as their team is about to lose he asks the coach to give him a chance although skeptical he allows calvin to play since he is not wearing his lucky shoes calvin is too nervous to everyone's annoyance he calls a timeout and runs to the locker room to change into his old shoes on returning he is much more confident the kid efficiently helps his team to catch up with the opponent's points and makes them win following the match he signs a contract to play with the team for the rest of the tournament he is in the orphanage packing up to leave for the tournament when biddleman confronts him the man wants to continue being his guardian because of the financial benefits therefore he tells calvin to be careful of the people who will want to adopt him now because they only care about his money on the flight the coach assigns tracy and calvin to the same room calvin loves the fact that he gets to share a room with his idol but tracy isn't as excited about it at night they have a curfew that tracy plans to break he gets ready for a date and leaves after teaching calvin how to use room service the kid gets to eat wherever he wants and takes full advantage of it when calvin returns with his date the room is trashed with half-eaten food he had expected to spend the night together with his date but instead they end up taking care of calvin who is sick the boys go to sleep late at night but even then tracy can hardly fall asleep because of calvin's snoring the following day they have an important match but tracy is tired calvin unknowingly reveals to the coach that they stayed up late at night the coach warns to suspend tracy if he misses curfew one more time starting that day calvin plays several games with the knights and helps them win all of them the opponents do not know what to expect when they play with the kid and are surprised by his skills he gets to go to several press conferences and makes a lot of money with the money he buys a bunch of gifts for everyone in the orphanage he also wins the nba slam dunk competition and becomes the most talented rising basketball star one night calvin is talking to murph about his new life and all the fun he has had playing in the nba a jealous ox hears them and attacks calvin trying to take his shoes away the fight stops when biddleman intervenes and scolds ox for hitting his friends he doesn't want calvin to get hurt now that he makes so much money off him the next time the team is at a hotel tracy goes to the pharmacy to buy sleeping pills and allergy medicines to ensure he gets a good night's sleep before the next day's match calvin joins him for the ride much to tracy's annoyance on their way the kid inquires about tracy's parents he has found out that tracy has a father with whom he doesn't talk the idea is foreign to calvin because he would do anything to have good parents tracy claims that he doesn't want to talk about his family and keeps driving he doesn't pay attention when the cashier gives him the pills and takes a sleeping pill instead of an allergy one because of this the man falls asleep before he can start the car and get back to the hotel calvin knows that if he misses the curfew tracy will be suspended hence he drives the car back to the hotel hitting several things on his way the next day calvin is suspended for going on a joyride tracy feels bad that the kid got punished because of his mistake later at night they're on the flight back when tracy thanks calvin for taking the heat to save him tracy has started to like the kid after spending some time with him when calvin returns to the orphanage several people come in wanting to adopt him murph gets jealous because he wants the adults to want him as well since biddleman doesn't want calvin to get adopted he chooses only the worst parents and arranges a meeting with them calvin doesn't like any adults he meets and decides to keep staying at the orphanage instead that weekend he goes to meet tracy in his house unannounced the kid is mesmerized by the size of the player's mansion when asked why he is there calvin tells tracy everything about murph being upset him not getting good parents and a geometry test he has tomorrow to solve the kid's problems tracy asks him to invite murph over while they wait he teaches him geometry in a fun way so he wouldn't get bored in the middle of it they start playfully throwing paint at each other murph joins them a while later and forgets about his argument with calvin the following day calvin and his friends are together talking about how difficult it is to find good parents when calvin tells him about tracy and his father's relationship they suggest he helped them reconcile the next day calvin meets with tracy's father and brings him to tracy's house the player is furious at calvin for invading his privacy they get into a massive argument about the matter the next day the knights have a match against their biggest opponents the toronto raptors but calvin and tracy have still not resolved their differences because of this they lose the match the coach scolds the team for degrading their performances in such a crucial game now they only have one last match which will decide if they will enter the playoffs or not the next day a couple comes to the orphanage asking to adopt calvin he is skeptical after several failed meetings but biddleman urges him to give them a chance he makes calvin wear new shoes telling him if he looks presentable they will want to adopt him even more before leaving calvin hands his lucky shoes to murph asking him to guard them with his life to test the shoes murph wears them and tries to play like calvin but he fails he concludes that they do not fit him and continues talking to a picture of his mother ox and his friends threaten him to tell them about the shoes when he refuses they take him to biddleman who burns the only picture of his mother that murph has with no way out murph tells them where the shoes are following that bittelman meets his associates and bets one hundred thousand dollars against the knights in the next game since he has hidden the lucky shoes he is sure that calvin will be horrible in the game calvin goes on a dinner with his potential parents but he doesn't seem to fit in in the meantime tracy meets his father and reconciles with him he misses calvin terribly and talks to him before their next match he wants to adopt the kid but refrains from telling him that after meeting the couple who he went to see yesterday 20 minutes before the game murph calls calvin and tells him about the shoes calvin rushes back to the orphanage to retrieve them the kids help him to tie up biddlemen and ask him where the shoes are ox goes against the group and tries to help him but he changes his mind after biddleman insults him like usual he brings out the shoes from the safe and gives them back to calvin everyone then gets on their scooters and drives back to the arena bittelman somehow frees himself and calls his associate to stop calvin from arriving at the game the men stop him but the kids managed to stall them and let calvin into the arena as a last resort bittelman stands in front of calvin refraining him from going further but the kid hits him with his scooter and finally gets to the game by his arrival his team is behind by a large margin when he starts playing they soon catch up with the opponent's score however he gets tackled in the middle of the game and his shoes are destroyed a nervous calvin believes his magic lies in the shoes so he would never be able to score without them tracy motivates the boy telling him that the shoes only gave him confidence the real talent lies within himself eventually calvin continues the game and helps his team win wanting to spend the rest of his childhood like a normal kid calvin tells his coach that he doesn't wish to renew the contract he returns to the orphanage which is now entirely different because of biddleman's departure tracy tells calvin about his plans to adopt a child and asks him if he
