Space Jam: A New Legacy is just over a month away from its grand release. Scheduled strategically around the days of the NBA Finals, the movie will benefit from the hype over the greatest basketball week of the season. Ahead of that, the makers have released a teaser to build some hype.

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 –

Now, that’s both hilarious and intriguing because no one knows if the movie has any reference from the 1996 Space Jam or not.
