They’re making a Lifetime movie about Kevin Durant’s mom…

It was announced yesterday that Lifetime, Television for Women, is making another one of their patented biopics, this time based on the life of Kevin Durant’s mother, Wanda Pratt. As someone who has been known to depressively hole up in my bedroom on a weekend with a couple of bags of birthday cake Oreos and a loaded .45, watching made-for-Lifetime movie marathons until the firemen knock a wall down, I came up with a few possible storylines that might be for this two-hour, low-budget masterpiece of feminine-marketed viewing.

TRIUMPH OF COURAGE: THE WANDA PRATT STORY

Emmy-winner Meredith Baxter turns in another award-worthy performance as tough inner-city single mom Wanda Pratt. A former star point-guard for her college basketball team, a few wrong turns in life left Wanda stuck in poverty and dreaming of a better life for her two boys. Though she swore never to pick up a basketball again, a chance encounter with Bob Dandridge (Grant Show) inspires her to take to the court one more time…and turn her two boys in world-famous champions, no matter what!

Alone on the mean streets of Washington D.C., a teenage Wanda had to fight for everything in this uncaring and unforgiving world. Years later, a grown Wanda (Robin Givens), blessed with two basketball-dribbling boys, realizes she desperately needs to get out of the inner city before it takes their dreams away too. Loading everything into a car, they head down to Georgia and back into the home she ran away from: the home of her long-estranged parents the Pastor (James Earl Jones) and Mother Maybelle (Della Reese). Tempers clash, old demons come back to haunt them and revelations come to light, but only through the forgiving spirit of love can they become a family again.
