Space Jam was one of the most iconic movies of the '90s, and now diehard fans of the original movie have been blessed with a sequel, Space Jam: A New Legacy, which was released on July 16. Basketball legend Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes gang were central to the original movie, and for the reboot, NBA star LeBron James has taken up the mantle as intergalactic sports star.
In Space Jam: A New Legacy, James - and an impressive cast including Cassandra Starr, Kyrie Irving, Zendaya, and Don Cheadle - and his son Dom battle an evil artificial-intelligence system that has trapped them in a game. To make it back home, they have to enlist the help of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and the Looney Tunes gang. Although his onscreen family play a major role in the film, viewers have been wondering if the movie's stars are actually related to James in real life.

He’S Tight, Together, And Mean. “The hands-down winner of the all-out best blaxploitation movie of the seventies,” declares author and artist Darius James in That’s Blaxploitation!
