Was inspired to write a story due to the new Space Jam movie releasing this year and all the controversy surrounding it.
Looney Tunes Characters are property of Warner Bros.
Am using Space Jam 1996 version of Lola Bunny.

In the Staples Arena in Los Angeles, a warmed up Stephen Curry is preparing following his teammates out to the starting line up. But as he waited for his name to be called, he began shaking as though he were suffering some kind of seizure.
" Stephen , you ok?" His coach asked before Stephen suddenly collapsed.
His teammates surrounded him as he turned himself over, sweating profusely.
" Move! Give him room! Get a medic in here!" The coach yelled.
Meanwhile at AllState Arena in Chicago, shooting guard James Harden had just scored a basket against the Chicago Bulls defense. As he was running back on defense he felt a chilling sting going up his spine. He immediately dropped to his knees.
The crowd roared in shock. Medics immediately came over to his aid.
" James are you alright?" One of the medics asked as he shined a light in his eyes.
" I'm fine…." James said.
" Can you continue?"
" I'm fine." James got back up.
As James got back to his feet he insisted on continuing to play.
As his team mate passed him the ball it immediately bounced off his face. He clumsily grabbed for the ball and as he finally managed to grab it he launched it toward the basket only to have it come nowhere close to it.
" What the heck was Harden aiming for?" asked a commentator.
-Meanwhile somewhere in space-
On an asteroid looking planet a board meeting was taking place. A tall, slender, green , alien walked across to the head of the table.
" It's a new age gentlemen…" He said turning on the T.V. behind him.
" We have brought moron mountain back from the dead." He began walking over to a portrait of Swackhammer. " My uncle, the original founder of the company taught me everything I know about being ruthless in this business…..but one area he lacked in was foresight."
He turned around and looked to the screen. " Moron Mountain is ready to move into the next century."
He sat down at the head of the table pulling out his pack of cigars. " We're almost ready to move forward."
"Almost sir?"
" We have the rides, the food, the games, but we're missing something, something that customers can associate with our company. What's that Kingdom place called? The one with the rodent?" He asked.
" Oh ummmm"
" The point is gentlemen, we need characters behind our attractions just like they do . We need an image the same way. So I have been looking into an old project of my uncle's"
He then turned the channel to Looney Tunes.
" Uh sir I hope you're not suggesting this…." A board member said. " Pursuing the Looney Tunes ruined your uncle and caused him to shut down the park completely."
" But how would we go about it?"
" Preparations are already being made. As we speak we are acquiring talent from some of the best players Earth has to offer and this time we'll have more suitable candidates for the project."
" So you're going to try to take them the same way your uncle did…." A board member asked. " But that didn't work well last time."
" Like I said, my uncle lacked foresight. But I don't."
-In Looney Tune Land-
The sun was beginning to rise. Within a bunny burrow a shadowed figure was asleep in his bed until the alarm on his phone went off. Picking up his phone and stopping the alarm, the shadowed figure sat up from his bed. He grabbed what seemed to be a hoodie putting it on. Placing his hands against the wall, he stretched out his legs and feet. Grabbing a basketball off his bed, he walked toward the rabbit hole past several pictures on the wall, one of which were Lola and Bugs Bunny hugging each other after their infamous basketball game against the Monstars.
Coming up from the rabbit hole, the figure approached a nearby basketball court. Moments later the shadowy figure could be seen shooting baskets and seemingly making every single one with ease. At one moment, he grabbed the ball and made a dunk quite easily. He seemed to show a mastery of the ball and footwork that was virtually flawless. After a while he sat down on his basketball as he looked up at the sun rising. He pulled back his hoodie to reveal a pair of light tan ears perking up and a tuft of cream colored hair.
