Plot ideas for KD’s new movie

KD’s going to be in a movie. All we know is it’s a Warner Bros. joint, Durant is in it and it’s going to have a basketball subplot. It’s supposed to start production in September in either OKC or Baton Rouge.

At this point we don’t have any information as to what the movie will be about. Judging by the above picture, I think we all can agree KD would be a pretty solid Clark Kent or maybe Malcolm X. But right now, it’s all up in the air. It could be anything from a 10th Air Bud movie to Space Jam 2 to a feature length version of “Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper”. (Is that two “Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper” jokes in the last month? I need new material.)

Since we don’t know yet, I figured it was a good idea to exercise the creative power of the DT nation to see what some of you’ve got. Trey Kerby of The Basketball Jones had a few, but let’s see what you fine people came up with. Consider everything sic’d.

DJ 7: A group of brothers are basketball players for their high school. The oldest (KD), the middle, and the youngest. KD is the humble one, the middle the cocky one, and the youngest the innocent one. they live in a rough neighborhood, and work a job, and manage to find a way to fit in practice with work/school. Their mother is a full time working waitress, and their grandmother stays with them. Sometimes they bet money on their school games. Its Senior year for KD, and Junior for his middle brother (the main character), unfortunately the middle brother hangs out with the wrong crews.

One day after messing a game, the middle brother is told that he is suspended for the next five games, he gets into a fight with KD, and takes off. He does something stupid, and later that night the younger brother out on a date ends up being shot down, and left paralyze. KD furious goes out for revenge but the middle brother ends up talking him out of it. The shooters are arrested, and the boys focused on school/basketball. They join a city tournament in which college scouts will be. [quote]

Their two rival schools consist of another poor school, and a rich private school have a similar group of kids joining the street tourney. They Win the tournament, and KD around the end of the year gets college offers. The middle brother finds a pretty girl, and starts going to church. But at the end the grandmother passes on from illness and that’s33s also where the movie starts(shes like the wise person who told them whats right and wrong) , at the funeral slow melodic music that kinda gives you hope inside starts to play, and the title of the movie then screens. THE END

TaoMaas: The Hangover 3: a group of friends travel to Beaumont, TX to participate in a charity basketball game…

squintessential: “A kid who stinks at basketball gets an opportunity to shoot a half court shot during a (possibly Thunder) game. The kid misses but KD signs a ball for him that magically transfers Durant’s court skills to the kid. The little guy becomes an unstoppable force with KD’s powers but this little bit of magic is ruining KD’s game. In the end, the kid decides to give the ball back and go back to practicing.”

Josh: Durant quits basketball out of frustation from a 3rd finals appearance  and the third time he missed the last shot taking a 35 ft fadeaway 3  while being triple teamed.  He’s pissed at his coach (Brott Scooks) and  his friend/teammate (Wessell Russbrook).

He retreats to rural Oklahoma  to be alone.  The locals who are wary at first, befriend him and teach  him how to noodle.  Through the magic and therapeutic power of noodling  the locals help him to find himself and the reason why he loved the  game.  KD also teaches the locals not to be such rednecks.  The  alternative ending of the movie has Durant being unselfish and passing  the ball to a 2nd string point guard (Maric Eaynor) who then clears  everyone out and airballs the last shot of the finals.  Done and done.   Print it, and the kid stays in the picture.

Jax Raging Bile Duct: Norman Bird arrives  in the rural Oklahoma town of Dickory Dock to be a high school teacher  and basketball coach. He had lost a previous coaching position after  striking a student, so is under pressure to succeed. Like much of the state, Dickory Dock’s community is passionate about basketball.

People  are aware that the best player in town, Kevin Durwood, does not intend  to play on this season’s team. A prominent faculty member warns the new  coach not to try to persuade Kevin to change his mind; she believes he  needs to focus on school work in order to get a scholarship to attend  college and have a better future.

The school enrollment is so  small that Bird has only a few players on his squad. But, when his  strict rules are disobeyed, he dismisses a key member from the team. The  coach alienates the community with a slow, unimaginative offensive  style featuring too many one on one moves that does not immediately  produce results and by losing his temper, which causes him to be ejected  from more than one game. Bird needs a new assistant coach and invites  knowledgeable basketball fan McGavin, the alcoholic father of one of his  players, to join him on the bench. This, too, confounds the town,  including McGavin’s son.

By the middle of the season, an emergency  town meeting is called to vote on whether Bird should be dismissed. The  schoolboard appreciates the coach’s staying away from Durwood and sides  with him, but the town votes him out. At the last minute, Durwood asks  permission to speak: he says he’s ready to begin playing basketball  again, but only if Bird remains as coach.

From this point, Dickory  Dock becomes an unstoppable team. Despite a setback in which McGavin  arrives drunk to a game and ends up in a hospital, the team advances  through tournament play, with contributions from unsung players, such as  the pint-sized Nate and devoutly religious Ken Perk.

Dickory Dock  shocks the state by reaching the state championship game. In a large  arena and before a crowd bigger than any they’ve seen, the Dickory Dock  players face long odds to defeat a team from Tulsa, whose players are  taller and more athletic. But with Durwood scoring at the last second,  tiny Dickory Dock takes home the 1952 Oklahoma state championship.

Ozarkhick: Kevin Durant is lord of an estate in medieval France. He feels pressure  to enter into an arranged marriage of political expediency, and also the  threat of a Saracen army crossing the Pyrenees to lay his lands and  people to waste.  However, his true love is Basque folk singing, and he  disguises himself and slips out to a monastary at night, where he and  the brothers sing the night away and strum their harps.

Eventually, he  he must choose between renouncing his title, or pursuing his dream of  being a traveling bard, roaming the countryside.  This fails, however,  when he is recognized as “that 7 foot tall black guy who lives in the  castle”.  Chastened but not dispirited, he challenges the King of the  Saracens to single combat in the form of basketball to save all of  France.  Kevin Durant narrowly wins by using the rip move on the Saracen  King.  The End.
