LeBron shared how much this project means to him:
The Space Jam collaboration is so much more than just me and the Looney Tunes getting together and doing this movie.
It’s so much bigger. I’d just love for kids to understand how empowered they can feel and how empowered they can be if they don’t just give up on their dreams. And I think Ryan did that for a lot of people.
Im so hype , this gonna be DOPE!
