LeBron James, 36, stars in ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’, available in theaters and HBO Max this past weekend. And even though the film did well opening weekend, bringing in almost $32 million, it appears not everyone is a fan of the sequel.

Let’s be clear, James could have delivered a Denzel Washington-like performance in the film, and there would still be a segment of people who believe it will never live up to the original.
