In 2006, LeBron James is 21 years old. Most 21-year-olds usually still live with their parents, trying to find the direction they want to take their lives. Still trying to find a job. Maybe I’m still in school. Meanwhile, Revlon was offered a role in the sequel to “Space Jam.”
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but James says he wasn’t ready for that role.
“I didn’t think I was ready to do anything of that scale. I wanted to continue to focus on my game and do as much as I could.”
Michael Jordan’s admiration began at an early age in Revlon. As a kid growing up in Akron, James says the original version of Space Jam was “most” of his childhood. This was also his answer when asked what he most respected about Michael Jordan, a third-year high school student.
“Many players know how to play the game, but if you know what I mean, they really don’t know how to play the game. Although they can put the ball in the hoop. , I can see things before they happen. Do you know how a guy can make his team so good? That’s one of the things I learned from watching Jordan It’s one “(via Sports Illustrated).
Fast-forwarding 15 years later, James has the same conversation with Michael Jordan while discussing basketball GOAT. He got married, had three children, and won three championships. He is now also accepting the role of space jam. The movie “Space Jam 2: A New Legacy” will be released in theaters on July 16th.
