“Space Jam: A New Legacy” is releasing on July 16, and the world will soon see the story of LeBron James and the Tune Squad crew.
Taking on a fresh plot from the 1996’s “Space Jam” film starring NBA legend Michael Jordan, James’ son is trapped in the digital world by villain Al-G Rhythm, played by Don Cheadle.
In order for James to rescue his son, he must win a game of basketball, so he recruits Bugs Bunny and the rest of the iconic Looney Tunes characters to face off against the Goon Squad.
Ahead of the movie’s release, SLAM Magazine unveiled its latest cover, which features James and Bugs Bunny with the orange aesthetic from the film:

The magazine is available to purchase on SLAM’s website for $8.99 USD, including different colorways that are currently out of stock.
