“Michael Jeffrey Jordan would never!”: LeBron James’ Razzie nomination for Worst Actor for his role in Space Jam: A New Legacy incites hilarious reactions on NBA Reddit and Twitter

LeBron James is the subject of more GOAT debate jokes after the Lakers superstar’s role in Space Jam: A New Legacy gets nominated for a Razzie.

Space Jam: A New Legacy was The Chosen One’s attempt to reload MJ’s cult classic and commercially successful original. Space Jam, released in November 1996, made $250 million worldwide.

Space Jam 2, as a lot of viewers know the movie, wasn’t quite as well-received by audiences. Despite heavy promotion by LeBron James, his family members and other NBA stars who featured in the movie, it only managed to gross $162 million and change.

Space Jam was made for a budget of $80 million and collected a net profit of over $170 million. Space Jam 2, on the other hand, only reaped a profit of around $47 million.

The general consensus among people who’ve watched both movies is that the commercials in Space Jam 2 were a bit much. Space Jam itself was a walking commercial, but ultimately, the presentation was very different. Space Jam seemed to fit its time, while the reload wasn’t quite there.

LeBron James had honestly a great cameo in the movie Trainwreck, released back in 2015. However, it seems that his acting can only be best-received in more natural settings.

A Razzie nomination may seem over the top, but it’s also the perfect opportunity for trolls to bust their best jokes out.
