"Like Mike" is a weak comedy who does to basketball what "Rookie of the Year" has done to baseball, but failed to succeed. The film featured Lil Bow Wow as a orphen who aquired magical powers from a pair of sneakers with the M J, as in Michael Jordan written inside one of the sneakers. Those magic sneakers lead him to become a basketball star with the Los Angeles Knights.

Lil Bow Wow tried to carry the film with his sweet performance, but he can't because the burdan of the film was too much for him to carry. Adaption and gambling got into the way of this film. the film fouled out after the second reel.
