LeBron James, Bugs Bunny pose on new edition of SLAM Magazine

LeBron James stands with Bugs Bunny in the latest cover of SLAM Magazine ahead of “Space Jam: A New Legacy”.

“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:

It’s also an important moment for the future of cartoon characters, as Bugs’ appearance is the first cartoon character to be displayed on the cover of SLAM.

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

‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’ Trailer: LeBron and Bugs vs. the ‘Goon Squad’

The first full trailer for the upcoming Space Jam movie with LeBron James debuted on Saturday morning.

While LeBron James continues to recover from his high ankle sprain and his Los Angeles Lakers fight to stay high in the standings without him, James had another off-court milestone. On Saturday morning, Warner Bros. dropped the first trailer for LeBron’s “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” his biggest movie project yet as an actor.

In the trailer, the audience finally gets a chance to see what the actual story will be, after years of script rewrites and reports about what the movie is about. You can see the full trailer below, with LeBron James falling through the Warner Bros. “serververse” to save his son. James also has to finish the “Goon Squad,” which is likely where the other NBA and WNBA players will come in.

As fans have noted online after watching the trailer, it included one incredible reference to an iconic moment in LeBron’s career, his dunk trailing Dwyane Wade from their first year together on the Miami Heat.

The July 16 release date is projected to be during the 2021 NBA Finals, so James could potentially be playing in the Finals again while his blockbuster movie debuts.
