Although known for his incredible NBA career, Michael Jordan will always be remembered for his starring role in the 1996 classic, 'Space Jam'. The film still garners praise, especially from those who grew up with it and idolized MJ.
For years, rumors have swirled about a potential sequel and who could succeed Jordan as the lead man. The thought of a sequel recently picked up steam, when it was said that Lebron James would be the new star. The proposed sequel also may have a director, or at least a writer in Justin Lin, known for his work on the Fast & Furious and Star Trek films.
At a recent basketball camp, an attendee asked the star of the original movie who he would like to see in the lead role if a sequel ever came to fruition. Jordan pondered for a moment, then settled on Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin.
