Like Mike is a 2002 American sports comedy film directed by John Schultz and written by Michael Elliot and Jordan Moffet.

Starring Lil' Bow Wow, Morris Chestnut, Jonathan Lipnicki, Brenda Song, Robert Forster, Crispin Glover, and Eugene Levy, the film follows an orphan who gets basketball talents after finding an old pair of sneakers that once belonged to Michael Jordan.

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.

After a long moment of stunned silence, Calvin receives a standing ovation from his friends and the crowd, and gets signed to a one-day contract by the Knights and prepares for his first game with them, but discovers that he is not there to play.

When the second option is about to become true, a desperate Bittleman steals Calvin's sneakers and bets $100,000 on the Toronto Raptors to beat the Knights.

After the third quarter ends with Vince Carter and the Raptors routing the Knights, 80–59, Calvin makes it back to the arena with the shoes.

The site's critical consensus reads, "A pleasant and innocuous diversion for kids, but adults may have trouble sitting through its predictable plotlines and schmaltz.

[7] Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post wrote that the film depicted "frightening myths about adoption" that ultimately soured the comedy and acting chemistry between Bow Wow and Morris Chestnut.

In September 2021, Bow Wow confirmed that a direct sequel to Like Mike was in the works with the film's original writer, Michael Elliot.
