Actor, part time NBA player Lebron James struggling to recruit stars for Space Jam 2

Exactly. CP3 just signed a $160-million dollar deal.

You think he wants to play second fiddle to that Bron Boy and roam around the set of my movie for a cool $500k?

Shit no!

[SpaceJam2]

indeed, pure comedy

In this pic, Bogues looks like a miniature retarded Westbrook and Spudd looks like a skinnier downs version of Carlton from Fresh Prince.

Your first post in this thread was spot on though.

Edit: nice catch lol

Everyone wants to make this about LBJ being disliked... and that could be it...

But I don't think that's it. I think there's two extremely large factors at play here...

We're in an extremely different time where people are extremely image conscious... literally in 24/7 alert mode because of evolving technology. Being LeBron's bitch in a movie probably isn't appealing.

Not to mention, the financial aspect. Today's guys are paid so much more than the guys of the 90s and before that it's staggering. The amount that they're probably going to get on the set of Space Jam 2 pales in comparison to ways that they would rather be spending their time that would yield larger financial success long term, such as getting better at their game or maybe... just flat out doing something they enjoy.

It's 2019. These players are all worth hundreds of millions now. Not just a couple mil.

But don't let me inject logic and reason into this thread... back to the LeBron bashing! Woo!

Not a bad take. Anyone visible enough to be 'known' to casuals interested in this movie( say a Steph, KD, Greek Freak level talent) can shoot a few summer commercials in the interests of their own brand and make similar coin to being Lebron's foil in some cameo role. Kyrie can go shoot an Uncle Drew commercial or two and for all express purposes get the same coin.

of course, it's not about the money, that's where clout comes into play. if MJ or Kobe hollered, these boys would definitely beckon

They really do

These guys are from the rough and tumble tough era where you got beat the **** up if you drove the lane where LeBron would crumble.

These 5'3 135 pound guys could survive it, but not 6'8 260 Bron

at the time bogues was one of the best PGs


larry johnson, charles barkley and patrick ewing were top of the line


larry bird was in it too

[kennethgriffen]

barea?

[Smoke117]

lol You guys are acting like the other players who were in Space Jam were even great then. Two scrubs like Mugsy Bogues and Shawn Bradley were two of the players who got their talent stole. An old ass way past his prime Ewing and same for Barkley were two others. The last guy was Larry Johnson who was really nothing ever special even before he hurt himself. Not one of these guys is even close to some big superstar anymore or ever by this point.

Ahahahahaha this loser really has no idea. Bogues was never more than an average point guard. Go take a shower weirdo.

Jordan couldn't even convince his own superstar teammate Scottie Pippen to be in the movie and these are fools going on about LeBron.
