I am surprised by nothing anymore.

I remember hearing about this for a while now. Is it finally definitely happening? Because I would be so happy.

I'm all for Space Jam 2, But it will be hard for Lebron to top Jordon in that movie.

Why? Because Jordon was incredible actor? Lebron only needs to bring HALF of the energy to this movie that he brings to everything else he does to surpass Jordan's sleep walking.

[Slade]

Not interested in the slightest

Is this gonna be an annual rumor now? Every 6 months? This is like the 8th time.

I'm not talking about the acting, I'm talking about Lebron as a basketball player, He's nowhere near the level of Jordon, Jordon had the star power, But we all know the Looney Tunes were the stars.

JordAn, man. Jordan.

But yeah, I don't see what actual basketball skill has to do with this. It's a movie.

When I was out this past weekend, I saw a man in a brown jersey that said James. It was then that I realized LeBron James plays with the number 23. That's how much I care about basketball. But I know enough to know that LeBron James is not the coolest, most recognizable and well-liked man on the planet, which is what Jordan was when Space Jam came out. If you're going to remake a movie, or do a sequel, you have to recognize what made it work the first time.

That's very true, What made Jordon so special, Was the fact that he was the most likable person on the planet, Everyone wanted to be him.

Lebron in the Trainwreck commercials I can already tell is 100x the comedic actor Jordan was.

I'm down for this silliness.

[Zak The Neutrino]

Considering remakes and sequels typically suck and the fact that I don't care for Lebron I will pass.

The thing is though...What is Space Jam? Really.

It's a feature length commercial and nothing more. It's not like Space Jam 2 has some sort of legacy to live up to.
