Chang Can Dunk

Chang, a 16-year-old Asian American basketball enthusiast, bets the school's star player that he can dunk by Homecoming. The bet leads him on a quest to learn to dunk, not only to impress his crush, Kristy, but also to gain the respect of his peers and reconcile with his strained relationship with his mother, Chen. With the help of online mentor Deandre Cooke and best friend Bo, Chang improves significantly as he trains rigorously and gains online recognition, ultimately succeeding in making a dunk and earning school fame. However, he soon realizes that success comes with its own set of challenges, particularly when his new-found fame puts him at odds with his mother and others who doubted him.
