LeBron James might have missed out on leading the Los Angeles Lakers to their second straight title. But that doesn’t mean he is out of the limelight.

Bron is not only a superstar on the court but off-court as well and has been stirring a lot of excitement in LA because of his new film ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’ releasing in a couple of days.

While the premiere already took place on July 12, fans can’t get over a loving brotherly moment shared by LBJ and his former teammate Chris Bosh.

James and Bosh were part of the Miami Heat‘s ‘Big Three’ before his move back to Cleveland, and they won two championships together. Even though Bosh was considered the third-best after Bron and Dwyane Wade, his contribution was vital to Heat’s legacy and will never be forgotten by fans.

Bron and Bosh lead two very different lives right now. The 36-year-old James is still playing as if he is in his prime and taking teams to titles.

But Bosh’s career came to an end long back because of blood clots, and we haven’t seen him since. However, their friendship doesn’t seem to have withered away even now.

This Space Jam sequel is coming out 25 years after the original release in which Michael Jordan starred. However, it has been made clear time and again that it is not in the continuation of the first.

There have been plenty of rumors about Warner Bros’ attempts in signing MJ for a sequel, but he was just not interested. So, they had to give the fans something. And who better to take over for MJ than the ‘Chosen One’ himself.

The new release is hitting theaters and will be available to stream online from July 16 onwards. Do you think it will live up to the bar that MJ set? Watch it to find out!
