LeBron James copied the Michael Jordan from TLD

The meme world is already full with Michael Jordan from The Last Dance living his “I took it personally” moments. And now, LeBron James added to the series when he described the storyline of his Space Jam flick.

Describing Chapter 1 of his movie, the 36-YO legend expressed, “Basically, what happened was, an evil algorithm took my son, I took that personally.”

Interestingly, the way King James narrated this, sitting on a sofa, opening his palms, and showing some character, matched perfectly to how MJ said the same in his documentary. Take a close look –

The Akron Hammer prioritized Space Jam over the Olympics

LeBron James first joined Team USA to represent the nation in the Olympics in 2004. After that forgetful summer, Bron again participated in the mega-event in 2008 and 2012 to win Gold Medal on both occasions. However, this time around, King James has other priorities and Space Jam comes at the top of those.

He recently admitted, “I think I’m gonna play for the Tune Squad this summer, instead.” Well, this is where Richard Jefferson’s comment, “I heard the bugs call LeBron, the wash king. I think Bron took that personally,” reinstates that Bron would rather fight the goon army than anyone else.
