It has been exactly 1.5 months since the Phoenix Suns knocked out the Lakers in an upset playoff victory. Ever since, the LeBron James fans were eagerly awaiting the release of Space Jam 2 to catch a fresh glimpse of their star. Since Bron is not part of the Team USA basketball team heading to Tokyo, the theatrical version is the only LBJ that’s out for the show.

Just three days ago, the world premiere of the Warner Bros movie took place with LeBron showing up alongside his wife and daughter Zhuri. And now, it’s July 16th and the movie is out in the theaters just as Bron’s teammates build up the hype.
