King James might have had a rough year due to the first-round elimination of his team LA Lakers in the 2021 NBA Playoffs. However, James’ fans have something to look forward to with the sequel of the cult classic Space Jam out.

Space Jam: A New Legacy was recently released in theatres as well as on HBO Max. The sequel stars the current face of the NBA and 4x champion LeBron James as the lead. The original Space Jam starring Michael Jordan was released 25-years ago, on 10th November 1996. Though the film didn’t open to great reviews, it gained the status of a cult over the years.
