Plot

13-year-old Calvin Cambridge and his two best friends, Murph and Reg Stevens, live in an orphanage in Los Angeles. At night, they all have to sell chocolate for the troublesome orphanage director, Stan Bittleman, at the STAPLES Center, after each home game of the NBA team, the Los Angeles Knights (a parody of the Los Angeles Clippers). Calvin meets the team's coach, who is impressed by Calvin's knowledge of basketball and honesty about the chocolates, and offers Calvin tickets for the next game. Inside a thrift store donation box, Calvin finds a pair of old sneakers with the initials "MJ" written on them; once worn by Michael Jordan. A jealous bully named Ox steals the sneakers and throws them onto an overhead power line. When Calvin tries to retrieve them that night during a rainstorm, he is shocked by a lightning bolt.
