What story did the movie Uncle Drew, shot by NBA star Owen, tell?

We know that there are precedents for NBA players to play some roles or even stars in movies, and there are even some very famous and successful works. For example, Michael Jordan's dunk in the air and ray allen's and Denzel Hayes Washington Jr.'s one-on-one fights are undoubtedly excellent, but relatively speaking, I feel that Uncle Drew is more IP-conscious, because Jordan plays himself in the dunk, but what about ray allen? His role in One-on-One Hit is similar to his own, but Uncle Drew is different. The protagonist here, Kerry Owen, plays an old legendary streetball player with different age and background.

Uncle Drew is a basketball comedy film directed by Charles Si Tong and starring Nick Kroll, shaquille o'neal, Riley, kyrie irving and reggie miller.

The story tells that Dax lost his dream of playing basketball when he was a teenager. Dax managed to form a team when he grew up, but the well-trained star players were poached by his sworn enemy. Dax, who was at the bottom of his life, met Uncle Drew who retired after his success and felt the long-lost hope. In order to win the championship, Dax tried hard to persuade Uncle Drew to come out again. The two embarked on a journey of gathering heroes, found Uncle Drew's former teammates and wanted to play in the Rock Park Streetball League.

We know that the image of Uncle Drew first appeared in Pepsi commercials, and because of its good effect, a series was made directly. So why is it effective? I think the positioning of this role itself is very attractive, because the audience will directly have an expectation and expect a contrast.
