Los Angeles Lakers superstar small forward LeBron James is “grateful and beyond blessed” to star in Space Jam 2.
Space Jam 2 begins production this summer. Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson, Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard, new Lakers big man Anthony Davis and WNBA stars Diana Taurasi, Nneka Ogwumike and Chiney Ogwumike will be in the movie.
James will play the role his idol, Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan, played in the first Space Jam movie. The Lakers star is really excited and can't for everyone to see the finished product.
Man this really just hit me! I’m really shooting Space Jam 2!! This is so surreal and doesn’t even make sense to me! Where I come from man and what I saw growing up this doesn’t add up to me! 🤦🏾♂️! I’m truly grateful and beyond blessed. This is CRAZINESS. 🏀 🐰 🎥 👑🙏🏾

Just like Jordan had on the set of Space Jam, James has a outdoor basketball court on set to train at. The Lakers acquired Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans last week, so LeBron and Davis are now primed for a championship run in 2019-20.
Anything LeBron does seems to be criticized heavily on social media for some reason, but bashing Space Jam 2 doesn't make sense. James did well in the film “Trainwreck” and figures to act good in this movie. Lakers fans are quietly hoping LeBron gets some recruiting in with Thompson on the set, too. Klay becomes an unrestricted free agent this offseason, although he will likely stay with the Warriors.
