Column: The Signal sports staff details when they first fell in love with their favorite sports

Some of my earliest memories in life include watching library-rented ”Star Wars” VHS movies and constantly watching a movie that we did own- “Space Jam.” The Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan narrative came out when I was almost two years old and I immediately connected with it for some reason. I had “Space Jam” action figures of Charles Barkley and Jordan in my room and I still believe his halfcourt dunk will forever give him the edge over LeBron James in any All-Time argument. Thanks to this film, when I was old enough to begin to understand what exactly sports were, Jordan was on the Wizards and personally, the will for me to learn more about the history of basketball began around the age of seven.
