Over the past few years, there’s been a lot of talk about “Space Jam 2” potentially being in the works. Superstar LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers has been consistently linked to the project and expected to be the player to take over where Michael Jordan left off in the first movie that came out back in 1996.
Former NBA star Muggsy Bogues, however, hopes that LeBron won’t be the one filling Jordan’s shoes in the next installment. As one of the many NBA stars to appear in the original “Space Jam,” Bogues thinks former Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant should take Jordan’s place rather than LeBron as he told the Charlotte Observer:
“I heard Michael say he would like to see Blake Griffin star as him, but I would’ve thought Kobe would kind of fit that mold more,” Bogues said.
