Space Jam Fans Roast LeBron James For Recruiting Superman & Gandalf When Michael Jordan Only Needed Bill Murray & Newman

The first official trailer for Space Jam: A New Legacy was released earlier today, and fans of the original movie have a lot of opinions on LeBron James' version. Many folks seem excited about the long-awaited sequel, but others are pointing out that James can't compete with the original film's star, Michael Jordan. The new movie will see a whole bunch of iconic characters from Warner Bros. properties, and a moment in the trailer sees James making a list of his dream team, which includes Superman, Gandalf, King Kong, and Iron Giant. In classic Twitter fashion, many people have taken to the social media site to roast James for needing such heavy hitters when Jordan only needed the Looney Tunes, Bill Murray, and Wayne Knight AKA Newman from Seinfeld.
