    You remember Space Jam.

    Warner Bros.

    Y'know, the classic starring Michael Jordan that is pretty much universally loved by anyone who was a kid in the '90s. And yeah, Space Jam is also known for having basically the best website around.

    Well, there's a sequel coming, ~probably~ starring superstar LeBron James.

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, Justin Lin is co-writing the project. Lin is best known for directing most of the Fast and Furious franchise movies.

    Rumors that LeBron would star in a Space Jam sequel started swirling in July, when LeBron signed a deal with Warner Bros.

    LeBron also wore this space themed sweater on Jimmy Fallon in July. Maybe he was trying to give us a hint?

    Yay for a Space Jam sequel. But we have some questions...

    ...like which current players will the Monstars steal their powers from?

    Warner Bros.

    In the original it was Shawn Bradley, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson and Muggsy Bogues.

    Is LeBron as charismatic as Michael Jordan?

    No one can say yet, but LeBron's surprisingly funny performance in Trainwreck indicates that he's ready to carry a film.

    More importantly, is there a role in Space Jam 2 for Wayne Knight?

    Warner Bros.

    Wayne Knight aka Newman is low key the best part of the original Space Jam.

    And what about Bill Murray?

    Warner Bros.

    And what about Lola Bunny?

    Warner Bros.

    Regardless, best of luck to LeBron on his interstellar adventure.
