Space Jam: A New Legacy, which James made sure to point out, is not a sequel to the first film, but a new original story for a new generation that does pay homage to the first movie that “tells of a new legacy, celebrating the importance of family and doing you.”

Where the films are similar is that that they both feature the Looney Tunes lacing up their hooping sneakers and donning their Tune Squad jerseys once again, but this time to follow LeBron’s lead to take on the rogue A.I. AL-G Rhythm’s (Don Cheadle) Goon Squad in a high stakes game of basketball. At stake is Jame’s son Dom (Cedric Joe), who was kidnapped by the sentient computer program and the existence of the Looney Tunes, who will be wiped from existence if James and his amazing basketball talents don’t come through in the clutch.
