No, because I didn't like the first one.

james anticipated he wouldn't get this far in the playoffs.

i'll say this though, if they use animated cartoons they'll be wayyy out of date

I didn't think the 1st one was that good, and I loved Looney Tunes as a kid. I dont think its possible for LeBron to be a worse actor than MJ though. I guess it depends on the writers.

Random predictions:

- Kevin Hart is part of the movie
- Other players include Anthony Davis (Rich Paul connection), plus atleast one Euro star (overseas box office)
- Soundtrack includes J Cole plus a Latino singer

I honestly just dont get the point of this. Are the Looney Toons even relevant anymore? Im sure they couldve come up with a different idea for a kids movie with LeBron.

They just desperate to make LeBron goat. So he is destined to follow MJ footsteps and fail btw Nothing more. And ofcourse I wont watch it. Didnt watch single Lebron game since Bulls played Cavs in playoffs. Aint planning start watching one even more scripted one.

Nah, I was 5 when the first one came out and I think I was only interested because I watched a lot of Tiny Toon adventures.

Horrific timing.

No big Loony Tunes show out.
LeBron at age 34 almost 35 by the time of post-production.

There's little reason to see this as an adult.

There's little reason for an adult to see the first one too.

But I agree, Lonny Tunes are so 90s. But idk what they'd do today? Fortnite? Like there is very little kids entertainment that people even in their 20s find legitimate.

Yeah I kind of feel this. Bring in any of the animation/production companies that have cartoons more in the collective consciousness of kids. This is gonna be stuck halfway between a nostalgia flick for stoner adults and a wtf for kids.

Should be starring Giannis. He's far more likeable and the future of the league.

They aren't relevant anymore

I dont get the purpose of a movie with looney tunes today. Many people watching will probably be guys who watched OG spacejam as a kid and view MJ>Lebron and will just bag on Lebron.

But I also don't know what show would have worked. Maybe Spongebob?

They can save on CGI and just cast Zion as a Monstar.

Why does this matter? MJ was 33 when Space Jam was released.

I would just bag on Lebron cuz it's worse than David Hasselhoff
