Rumored Basketball Cartoon Sequels

Space Jam 2 May Be Coming with the New King of the NBA

It's been 18 years since the Looney Tunes laced it up and hit the hardwood, but they may be back at it again with Space Jam 2. While it's currently only rumored the cult classic may be getting reborn with the biggest star in the game, it still causing some serious commotion online.

LeBron James has had an amazing career up until this point. While his on-court exploits have spoken for themselves, nothing can quiet the comparisons to 'His Airness' Michael Jordan. Truth be told, there is no bigger comparison than Space Jam.

If LeBron were to go through it, the money made would be huge but for a mega star like LeBron, we can only assume movie money isn't the motive. Space Jam 2 would bring a new level of global acclaim and legendary status to the legend in the making. Shaq had Shazaam, Jordan Had Space Jam, LeBron could have Space Jam 2.
