Devin Booker vs. Ronald McDonald

"The One-On-One"

Scene Breakdown

01

Open

EXT. Outdoor Basketball Court — Sunset

Empty court. Devin Booker walks on carrying a basketball. He notices fresh footprints leading across the blacktop.

DEVIN "Not again."

He follows them. At center court sits Ronald McDonald — silent, staring, wearing the all-blue McDonald's Book 2 Friends & Family sneakers. Devin looks down. Then at Ronald's shoes.

DEVIN "How did you get those?"

Ronald shrugs.

02

The Challenge

Center Court — One-On-One

Ronald spins a basketball on one finger. Points to the court. One-on-one. Game on.

03

Montage

The Run

  • Devin hits a smooth pull-up jumper.
  • Ronald responds with an absurd sky hook.
  • Devin crosses him over.
  • Ronald somehow appears in front of him.
  • Devin dunks.
  • Ronald pulls fries from his pocket and uses one as a whistle.

A crowd of kids starts gathering. Everyone laughing.

04

Final Play

Game Point

Score tied. Game point. Devin drives — Ronald cuts him off. Devin spins. Step-back. Splash. Game.

Kids erupt.

05

Button

The  Close

Ronald walks over. Points at Devin's shoes — then points at his own blue Book 2s. He pulls out a big brown McDonald's bag, Inside the bag is another pair of the BOOK 2 shoes.

DEVIN "Okay… you got game for a clown. And apparently good taste"

Scene Breakdown

01

Opening

Close-Ups — Equipment Beside Hospital Beds

Close-ups of basketballs, footballs, cleats, softball gloves, dance shoes, and jerseys sitting beside hospital beds.

Devin (V.O.)

"Every kid here had plans."
"A season to play."
"A game to win."
"A dream they were chasing."

02

Ronald McDonald House

Walking the Halls

  • Football
  • Soccer
  • Dance competitions
03

Workbook Session

Outside The Lines — Small Group

04

Devin's Story

OUTSIDE THE LINES
Because who you are is bigger than what you do. McDonald's × Ronald McDonald House × Devin Booker

A Pitch to McDonald's x nike

Why McDonald's Should Make This Spot

Brand Equity

Ronald McDonald House Already Exists

McDonald's has one of the most recognized cause platforms in the world and an under-told story. This spot finally gives Ronald McDonald House the cultural spotlight it deserves — through the lens of sport, identity, and youth.

Athlete Alignment

Booker Is Already In The Family

The Book 2 collab is live. The shoe is moving. This spot deepens the partnership beyond a product launch and turns Devin Booker into a McDonald's values ambassador — not just a sneaker endorser.

Cultural Moment

Athletes Are Asking "Who Am I Beyond Sport?"

From NIL deals to mental health conversations, the culture is already having this discussion. McDonald's steps into that moment with purpose and a program — not a slogan.

Curriculum Partner

Outside The Lines Provides The Framework

The OTL workbook gives this campaign a tangible deliverable. McDonald's doesn't just air a commercial — they fund a purpose curriculum reaching kids in Ronald McDonald Houses nationwide.

Most cause campaigns end at awareness. "More Than The Game" ends with action — kids writing in workbooks, families with a resource, and McDonald's owning a narrative that no other fast food brand can touch. You already have the house. You already have the athlete. Outside The Lines gives you the program that makes both mean more.

Nike × Devin Booker
"Outside The Lines"

"Everything y'all been taught… is only part of the game."

Scene Breakdown

01

0:00 – 0:04  |  Open – Ground Level

Black Screen

Sound: Squeak of rubber on tile. Cut to close-up — a clean pair of Nike Book 2s moving down a school hallway. Slow. Controlled. Intentional. Echo of each step.

02

0:05 – 0:08  |  Entry

From The Shoes Up

Camera follows the shoes as they stop at a classroom door. Beat.  Camera rises slightly — but never fully reveals him yet. He steps in.

03

0:09 – 0:14  |  The Shift

The Board

Now we see Devin fully. The board reads: PLAYBOOK. He grabs the marker. Adds: "…for life outside the lines". Students look up. Something just changed.

04

0:15 – 0:20  |  First Line

The Challenge

ATHLETE "Playbook for outside the lines?"
DEVIN "Everything y'all been taught…" (beat) "is only part of the game."
05

0:21 – 0:44  |  Reality

Cross Cut — System Driven

Devin (V.O.)

"Identity… is what you accept about yourself when nobody's naming you."
— Athlete removes jersey in mirror

"Discipline… is what you do when nothing is pushing you."
— Alarm. Snooze. Conflict. Empty gym. Stops. Then pushes through.

"Purpose… is what keeps you moving when nothing's forcing you."
— Scholarship letter, heavy, not celebratory. Coach message, read, ignored.

"Choices… are the moments that define you."
— Turns away from the party. Walks away from peer pressure.

06

0:45 – 0:50  |  The Tool

The Workbook Drop

Back to classroom. Devin places the Outside The Lines workbook on the desk. Students lean in. Quick shot: foot taps subtly under the desk — same Book 2s. Energy is shifting.

07

0:51 – 0:56  |  Transformation Cuts

The Shoe Thread

We subtly track the same Book 2s through each moment:

  • Walking away from the party
  • Stepping onto the court early morning
  • Walking into coach's office
  • Walking past distractions

The shoe becomes the through-line of every decision made.

08

0:57 – 0:59  |  Final Line

Back to Classroom

ATHLETE "So this how we win?"
DEVIN "This is how you discover who you are… beyond the game."
09

Product Shot

Nike Book 2 on a gym floor. Half in shadow. Half in light. Subtle court line beneath it.

Made for life inside… and outside the lines.

Nike × Devin Booker
"Vehicle"

"Basketball is the vehicle. Purpose is the destination."

Scene Breakdown

01

Fade In

Black Screen — Moss Point, Mississippi

SFX: A basketball dribbling in an empty gym. One bounce. Then another. Then silence. Title card fades: Moss Point, Mississippi.

02

Scene 1  |  The Beginning

INT. Gym — Day (Past)

Low angle: a basketball rolls across the hardwood from underneath the goal. Devin's dad stands in the shadows behind it. A young Devin Booker (8–10 years old) steps into frame. No dialogue. No music. Just the sound of sneakers on the floor. He bends down and picks up the ball. Rises into a triple-threat position. Ball tucked. Eyes forward. Ready.

03

Scene 2  |  Transformation

Continuous Shot — Child to Man

As young Devin rises into position, the camera slowly pushes in. Lighting shifts. Sound deepens. The child becomes adult Devin Booker — same stance, same position, same determination. No break in motion.

04

Scene 3  |  The Work

Book 2 Pivot — The Lessons

Close-up: Book 2 sneakers pivot. Hardwood squeaks.

DAD (O.S.) "Get Lower."

Booker drops lower — more balanced, more controlled. Flashback: young Devin bodied up by his dad in the driveway. Learning. Competing. Growing. Match cut: adult Booker mirrors the exact same movement. The lessons stayed.

05

Scene 4  |  Training Montage

Music Begins — Slow Emotional Build

  • Booker dribbling through cones
  • Close-up of sweat
  • Jump shot release — perfect form
  • Flashback: young Devin misses. Dad corrects. "Again. And again. And again."
  • Present-day Booker — another jumper. Nothing but net.
06

Scene 5  |  The Question

Empty Gym — The Real Lesson

Wide: Booker stands alone. Flashback — his father sits high in the bleachers. Watching. Teaching. Preparing him for more than basketball.

DAD "What's your purpose, son?"
YOUNG DEVIN "Basketball."

Dad. A slight smile. A knowing look.

DAD "No." (beat) "That's just the vehicle."
07

Scene 6  |  Reflection

The Gym Goes Dark

Booker stops dribbling. Ball rests in his hands. He looks around the gym — thinking, remembering. The lights begin to flicker. Everything fades to darkness. Only Booker remains visible.

08

Scene 7  |  Purpose

The Community

Dad (V.O.) — Older now. Wiser. Echoing through time.

"What you do…"
— Kids playing basketball. Laughing. Competing. Dreaming.

"Who you become…"
— Booker walking through his community. Shaking hands. Giving high-fives. Showing up.

"Outside the lines…"
— A burst of light. Drone reveal: the outdoor court Devin donated in Moss Point. Packed with kids. Packed with life.

"…is even more important… than who you are inside the lines."

09

Scene 8  |  Legacy

Music Swells — Soulful Vocals (Daniel Stallworth)

Booker walks onto the court. Kids surround him. A kid laces up a pair of Book 2s. Booker passes a basketball to the kid — the kid catches it. Securely. Confidently. Booker smiles. The same smile his father had.

10

Final Message

Hero Shot

Booker faces camera. Community behind him. The court behind him. The future behind him.

DEVIN "This is why."

Wide sunset shot. The court is alive. Kids running. Parents watching. Dreams growing.

Purpose isn't played. It's lived.

Red Bull × Devin Booker
"Outside The Lines"

"Red Bull gives you wings… to fly outside the lines."

Scene Breakdown

01

0:00 – 0:04  |  Open – Ground Level

Black Screen

Sound: Crack of a Red Bull can opening. Cut to close-up — a cold can in hand, condensation rolling down the side. Slow. Controlled. Intentional. Echoes of footsteps in a school hallway.

02

0:05 – 0:08  |  Entry

The Walk

Camera follows the Red Bull can swinging in Devin's hand as he walks toward a classroom door. His face hasn't been shown yet. Beat. Door opens. Camera rises slightly — never fully reveals him. He steps in. Takes a sip.

03

0:09 – 0:14  |  The Shift

The Board

Now we see Devin fully. Board reads: PLAYBOOK. He grabs the marker. Adds: "…for life outside the lines." Students look up. Something just changed.

ATHLETE "Playbook for outside the lines?"
DEVIN "Everything y'all been taught…" (beat) "…is only part of the game."

He sets the Red Bull on the desk beside him.

05

0:21 – 0:44  |  Reality

Cross Cut — Red Bull as Through-Line

Devin (V.O.)

"Identity… is what you accept about yourself when nobody's naming you."
— Athlete removes jersey in mirror

"Discipline… is what you do when nothing is pushing you."
— Alarm. Snooze. Conflict. Empty gym. Then pushes through. Quick insert: Red Bull can sitting courtside.

"Purpose… is what keeps you moving when nothing's forcing you."
— Scholarship letter, heavy. Coach message, ignored. Athlete grabs a Red Bull before walking into the empty gym.

"Choices… are the moments that define you."
— Turns from the party. Walks away from peer pressure. Red Bull can crushed slightly in his hand as he chooses differently.

06

0:45 – 0:50  |  The Tool

Workbook + Red Bull

Back to classroom. Devin places the Outside The Lines workbook down beside the Red Bull. Students lean in. Quick shot: a student reaches for the workbook — then notices the Red Bull beside it. Energy is shifting.

07

0:51 – 0:56  |  Transformation Cuts

The Red Bull Thread

We track the Red Bull through each moment:

  • Sitting courtside during early morning workouts
  • In the locker beside books and notes
  • Grabbed before walking into coach's office
  • Held while walking past distractions
  • Cracked open before sunrise training

The Red Bull becomes the through-line of growth, focus, and elevation.

08

0:57 – 0:59  |  Final Line

Back to Classroom

ATHLETE "So this how we win?"
DEVIN "This is how you discover who you are… beyond the game."

He takes one final sip of Red Bull.

09

0:59 – 1:00  |  Final Frame

Product Shot

A cold Red Bull can on a gym floor. Half in shadow. Half in light. Subtle court line beneath it. Can hisses softly.

Red Bull gives you wings… to fly outside the lines.
