In 1996, Michael Jordan and fellow NBA players Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Muggsy Bogues, Larry Johnson and Shawn Bradley were featured in Space Jams. A movie that combined live action basketball stars with Looney Tunes stars, like Bugs Bunny, Tweet Bird, Porky Pig and newcomer Lola Bunny. The iconic cartoon characters, with the help of Michael Jordan defeated an alien race, the Monstars, in a basketball game with high stakes. Well the internet is buzzing today because superstar basketball player Lebron "King" James tweeted that he'd like to be in a sequel.




Keep in mind that Warner Bros. currently doesn't have Space Jam 2 in development, but when one of the most popular athletes in all of sports says he has interest, movie executives take notice.

So let's say this project does get off the ground. Which current NBA players do you think should be included in the film?

KOBE BRYANT


ANTHONY DAVIS


BLAKE GRIFFIN


KEVIN DURANT


CHRIS BOSH


DIRK NOWITZKI


STEVE NASH


DERRICK ROSE


JEREMY LIN


CARMELO ANTHONY


DWAYNE WADE


DWIGHT HOWARD

None...make the next Space Jam movie centered around American football.

Clay Matthews takes on the Tasmanian Devil...Bugs Bunny in a shootout against Drew Brees.
Kaedus - 8/27/2012, 1:56 PM
Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, and Manu Ginobli.

SPACE JAM!
HelaGood - 8/27/2012, 1:56 PM

Greengo - 8/27/2012, 1:57 PM
LMAO @ BOSH
Brady1138 - 8/27/2012, 1:57 PM
Space Jam was great when I was a kid, but now...no.
HelaGood - 8/27/2012, 1:57 PM
WB does a shit job with mixing Looney Tunes with live action... why not just do a Looney Tunes movie WITHOUT the live element???????
IronManny819 - 8/27/2012, 1:59 PM
I'm with Kaedus.

TrueRedBlue - 8/27/2012, 2:02 PM
Why are they making an obviously unneeded and unwanted sequel? Oh yeah, silly me.
$$$$ MONEY!! $$$$

Space Jam...2? What the [frick]!
CaptainObvious - 8/27/2012, 2:08 PM
If there is any studio in Hollywood that is great at selling out, it's WB.
Pockets713 - 8/27/2012, 2:09 PM
Kevin mother [frick]ing Love!
Bigred20 - 8/27/2012, 2:10 PM
here's an idea
Don't make a sequel to begin with
CharlesTheIncredible - 8/27/2012, 2:11 PM
no space jam 2 please.
barmatz - 8/27/2012, 2:14 PM
Stumblin - 8/27/2012, 2:15 PM
Hooray! I don't recognize more than half of these guys because I don't care to.
DalyBear - 8/27/2012, 2:18 PM
If they manage to have Bill Murray back. I'd lose it.
REDSTORM - 8/27/2012, 2:20 PM
Space Jam 2 should be with Football. The MonStars (or whoever is their equivalent bad guys) can kidnap and brainwash Peyton Manning and the Tune Squad will get Eli to try to rescue his brother.

@dalybear

He comes back for space jam 2 and passes on Ghostbusters 3. LOL
ThatOneDude - 8/27/2012, 2:26 PM
[frick] NO!!!

I do love Anthony Davis though... Go UK
cantfakethefunkdj - 8/27/2012, 2:30 PM
my 5 picks would be: lebron, durant, kobe, dwight, rose! legooo!
lntrn8 - 8/27/2012, 2:32 PM
Jordan did it with 3 championships under his belt, on his way to another 3 more when he did Space Jam.

Lebron wants to do Space Jam? Get more rings homie . . . there are other players in the NBA with more rings on their finger than you!
NightAvenger - 8/27/2012, 2:36 PM
As many UK players as you can get.
Angelus - 8/27/2012, 2:38 PM
Anyone from Celtics would be right, not Lebron James. Rather Kobe but I say KG or Rondo, with special apperance by Bird himself!
Coloso - 8/27/2012, 2:39 PM
Oh boy, please no WB don't get any ideas. Last thing we need is you getting side tracked and forgetting about JLA after Avengers gave you a shove in the right direction.
JoeMomma29 - 8/27/2012, 2:39 PM
Ummm is Space Jam a comic book????
DalyBear - 8/27/2012, 2:40 PM
I bet you they ask MJ for a cameo, says no and Charles Barkley immediately says yes
Bodwulf - 8/27/2012, 2:44 PM
Why?
God and man, Used The "Eye of God" also known as the Helix Nebula (twice.)for the eyes.and The hands are a photo of a star exploded in a supernova, creating a rapidly spinning 20km-wide star called a pulsar, which is deep inside the white blob at the hand's wrists.

...and in related news, Kobe Bryant has been caught cheating again on his wife with fictional WB character Lola Bunny.
JoeMomma29 - 8/27/2012, 2:56 PM
O I C that Space Jam is a comic book. But at this point who really cares?
HellBlayzer1981 - 8/27/2012, 3:00 PM
Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, and Manu Ginobli= BOSS!
Dechiriko - 8/27/2012, 3:09 PM
how aboyt no way
OdinsBeard - 8/27/2012, 3:11 PM
points deduction for nailbiter for using the worst photo of lebron possible. c'mon..
EastcoastAvenger - 8/27/2012, 3:21 PM
Why stop with 1 sport and 1 athlete? Why not have an alien armada come down and challenge us to the Olympics games? King James in Basketball, Michael Phelps in swimming, Gabby what's-her-name in gymnastics, that Bolt guy in track...
SHO1138 - 8/27/2012, 3:35 PM
WB should get the team that worked on Happy Feet to do an updated version of the Looney Toons. The teaser could show all the changes to Bugs Bunny from black and white to the new show. Then end with the new cg version turning to the camera "What's up doc?"
skidz - 8/27/2012, 3:36 PM
Here's an idea. Screw the athletes and bring in people who can actually act and writers who actually remember the humor that went into the old Looney Tunes shows. The 'new' cartoon they have on Cartoon Network causes enough brain damage anyway.
2010warmachine - 8/27/2012, 3:47 PM
Which NBA Players Should Be In SPACE JAM 2? None of them!
KingG - 8/27/2012, 3:47 PM
I loved the first SPACE JAM, but i dont know why the [frick] they would make a sequel to that.
KingG - 8/27/2012, 3:50 PM
Trust me, SHAQ really led it into me that NBA can and shouldnt act. STEELE. need i say more.
beane2099 - 8/27/2012, 4:14 PM
Say what you will, Space Jam was a gem. It combined the real life events of Jordan's switch from basketball to baseball and back again, with the return of the Looney Tunes after years of teases with Tiny Toons and such, a slew of basketball greats, and some cool cameos (c'mon, Newman and Bill Murray). Of course I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the killer soundtrack. Just like I feel that Rocky 4 was blessed by the 80's, so to do I feel that Space Jam was blessed by the 90's (and no I'm not literally comparing those movies). I'd say I'd like to see a Space Jam 2, but I don't know that they could capture that again. I'd see it though.
silverhawk - 8/27/2012, 4:24 PM
Like some others said, bring on parker, duncan, and ginobili!!! plus id be awesome if jordan appeared, even if it was in a cameo or something.
