Look, no matter which cameo you like more, it all comes back to Michael Jordan. Without exaggeration, it's the stand-out joke of the movie, and I don't think anyone will ever be able to top it when attempting to make comparisons between the two famous Michael Jordans. Jordan to make a brief appearance in the movie for a fake-out Michael Jordan arrival in the sequel. LeBron James: Space Jam: A New Legacy sprung on a once-in-a-lifetime joke and managed to get Michael B. He's ultimately there to feed Jordan additional confidence and just be a warm body on the court to help Jordan seal the game. Murray's arrival in the final seconds of the game is absolutely ridiculous, but at the same time, it's awesome because he's just as useful as 90% of the Looney Tunes on the court. Michael Jordan: Space Jam has a solid number of celebrity cameos, though none are as prominent as Bill Murray's late-game arrival as Michael Jordan's teammate. In this specific instance, I credit James for being the better team leader and admitting he was wrong to the Looney Tunes. I've seen enough of The Last Dance to know that Michael Jordan would not have let those Tunes forget one second of that game if they lost and stress that he had nothing to do with the fact they're on Moron Mountain. This may be controversial, but I think the fact that LeBron James was able to identify his own weakness in the game makes what he achieved with the Tune Squad much greater in comparison. It wasn't until he stepped aside and let the Tunes do their thing that they got back in it, and together, they brought their team to victory. With that said, it's more than fair to say that LeBron James was more of a detriment to his team at the start, as he stressed fundamentals as opposed to silliness. LeBron James: Space Jam: A New Legacy's big match is basketball within a video game, so the rules are somehow looser than they were in Space Jam. Again though, they had Michael Jordan, who got it done in the end. The Tunes went about some of their classic antics in the second half, and that was a key reason the Tune Squad got back in the game in Space Jam. With that said, they still had Michael Jordan on their team, and after a half-time pep talk and some trickery, they stepped it up. Michael Jordan: The Looney Tunes got dominated in the first half against the Monstars, I can't dispute that. Therefore, they are the superior opponents. I think if the Monstars and Goon Squad squared off in an actual basketball game, even with powers, the Monstars would walk away victorious. You can't say that with Space Jam, where the Monstars brutalized the Tunes to the point that they were barely able to withstand the slam and jam style for an entire game. He didn't really need superstar NBA talent for those characters because they used very little of their skillset during the game in Space Jam: A New Legacy. Let's be honest, as good as Dom's game was, it didn't emphasize basketball fundamentals. Without a doubt, these superstars, paired with their unique abilities, were forces to be reckoned with on the court. Then Rhythm convinced Dom to modify his own in-game attributes and make himself a much better basketball player than he was in real life. LeBron James: Al G Rhythm and Dominic James' Goon Squad utilized motion capture Dom took from Damian Lillard, Diana Taurasi, Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson, Nneka Ogwumike, but ramped them up with monster modifications. It's hard not to given the hard-nosed style of '90s basketball play, This is a formidable lineup that would've taken out any lineup of Jordan's Bulls in a 7-game series, and of that, I feel rather confident. The Nerdlucks used the mojo of Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, Shawn Bradley and Muggsy Bogues, and played some real hard-nosed basketball. Michael Jordan: The Nerdlucks needed NBA talent fast, and they found it in some pretty reliable players.
