"Space Jam 2"
20 years after Michael Jordan defeated the Monstars, and years after he retired from the game of basketball, they come back to Earth to try and get their revenge on the Looney Tunes...
Just days before the beginning of the NBA season, the Nerdlucks land in the cartoon universe to demand a rematch with the Looney Tunes. They believed it was unfair the first time around since the Toons had help from the best player of all time. All of the Tunes wanted nothing to do with the rotten aliens because they knew how evil and deceptive they really were, even though they looked like pipsqueaks. However, Bugs Bunny, being the cocky rabbit he is, accepted the challenge since they had won the last time.
What he didn't know was that they had already stolen the powers of the best basketball players in the league. They raided basketball games in the preseason and drained the powers of Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, Steph Curry, Demarcus Cousins, and Kevin Durant. Everyone wondered how these All Stars could all of the sudden go from dropping 30 points a game to barely being able to dribble the ball. But the Nerdlucks didn't care, now they could transform into the Monstars again and were ready to annihilate Bugs and the Tune Squad.
Bugs realized he made a mistake, and this time they couldn't count on the help of Michael Jordan since he is 53 and much too old to play. Daffy Duck thought all hope was lost, as did the rest of the Tunes. They thought the Monstars would surely prevail this time around and enslave them as an amusement park attraction on their planet. However, just because Jordan couldn't play as well anymore, didn't mean he couldn't help his friends.
" I'll tell you what," Mike said, " I can't really help you on the court, but I've always wanted to coach. AND I also have connections to some great young players."
"That's great Doc!" Bugs exclaimed. "Ehhh, just one tiny problem …. NOBODY WILL EVER BE AS GOOD AS YOU."
Mike couldn't help but laugh because even though he was flattered and knew it was probably true, he thought the rabbit underestimated today's players. Although nobody could ever replace him as the G.O.A.T, he had only one person in mind to fill in for him; Lebron James.
Lebron was probably the closest thing to Michael in basketball, besides Kobe Bryant of course. But Kobe had just retired the season prior, while Lebron was coming off a championship season with a ring and a finals MVP trophy. Mike was impressed by Lebron's dominance on the court because it reminded him of himself the way he put his heart into every game. He also admired how James was chasing his legacy, although it would be a tough mission to be compared to the greatest of all time.
