\"LeBron<\/img><\/p>\n

There\u2019s been talk about Space Jam 2<\/em><\/strong> since as far back as 2015 when NBA superstar LeBron James<\/strong> signed a movie and TV deal with Warner Bros. back in the summer of 2015. Nearly a year later, the project started to become a reality with Star Trek Beyond<\/em> director Justin Lin coming on board. The filmmaker didn\u2019t stick with the project, which ended up being directed by Malcolm D. Lee<\/strong>, who replaced the previously hired Terence Nance. So it\u2019s been a long road for Space Jam 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Space Jam 2<\/em> did end up getting in front of cameras, and now it has the title of Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/em><\/strong>. The film is currently set for release in the summer of 2021, but we\u2019ll see if the coronavirus pandemic allows Warner Bros. to keep that release date. In the meantime, we have some wonderful words from producer and star LeBron James that recently surfaced from a recording of his farewell speech on the last day of production. If you\u2019re looking for your daily dose of inspiration, here you go.<\/span><\/p>\n

TMZ obtained an audio recording of LeBron James\u2019 candid speech when Space Jam 2<\/em> was wrapping production (or at least when he was done shooting). James recalled how he didn\u2019t hesitate when the opportunity to make the sequel came along. He said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m gonna be honest completely with you guys \u2014 when I found out about the project, I was like it\u2019s \u2018Space Jam\u2019! It\u2019s a movie that I grew up watching. People in the movie that I idolize. I was like absolutely, I gotta do it. There\u2019s no way I can turn down \u2018Space Jam\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Then James shifted gears a bit and got even more personal about his small town roots and the adversity he faced before basketball changed his life:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m just a small kid from Akron, Ohio \u2013 a very small town outside of Cleveland. From a single-parent household, I\u2019m the only child, my mother had absolutely nothing. She was walking around high school when she was 16 years old and she was pregnant with me as a high school sophomore. So, I\u2019m really not supposed to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As a reminder of the racism that\u2019s always been present in our country, James also talks about how the situation he found himself growing up in typically doesn\u2019t result in the kind of success that he\u2019s had. James added:
\n<\/section>\n

\n

\u201cGrowing up in the inner city, as an African-American kid, there\u2019s no way you\u2019re supposed to fucking make it out. And, the fact that I\u2019m who I am as an African-American adult now with three kids of my own, and I made it out of the situations that I was in. This shit is like extra credit for me man.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Not every inner-city kid is lucky enough to become an all-star professional basketball player. But this is why representation and diversity is important. This is why we must continue fighting against the kind of institutional racism that keeps Black kids from breaking the oppressive cycle of prejudice and injustice. Everyone deserves a fair chance at a good life. Even though you may not be hearing about it as often on the news<\/a>, this is just another reminder that Black Lives Matter.<\/p>\n

You can listen to the full speech LeBron James made over here. Otherwise, Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/em> is slated to hit theaters on July 16, 2021<\/strong>. But we\u2019ll have to wait and see if that date holds up.
