As the summer winds down and the NBA’s news cycle slows (for now), we’ll be going back in time to review and break down some classic basketball flicks. From popular, star-studded blockbusters, to sports cinema’s hidden gems and everything in between, let’s re-visit some of basketball’s most iconic moments in film. Today: With LeBron James joining the Los Angeles Lakers and more and more rumours of an impending sequel in the works starring The King, we decided it would be fitting to tip things off with the 1996 “classic,” Space Jam. As a historical document, it’s interesting to watch again today and is a good example of the level of popularity Jordan reached. ![]() In the age of remakes we’re currently living in, it’s hard to watch the film without thinking of what it would look like today (more on that later). The Plot Michael Jordan, then at the height of his fame and success, is transported from a harmless golf outing with Larry Bird and Bill Murray to Looney Tunes Land where he is asked to help save its citizens by winning a basketball game. Needless to say, he is the ultimate ringer and helps Bugs Bunny & Co. Defeat the Monstars, a team of aliens who have stolen the basketball powers from some of the NBA’s biggest stars. Space Jam MVP (Most Valuable Performer): Bill Murray For a non-actor, Michael Jordan carries a ton of on-screen responsibility and crushes it.

From there, the best sequence is another montage, this one featuring the Monstars’ real-life equivalents as they try to process and cope with life after their basketball skills have been stolen, culminating in Muggsy Bogues’ great line, “But I love my mama.” Space Jam in context Space Jam was the second basketball film that came out in 1996 that we’ll be reviewing.

In general, ’96 was a big year for summer blockbusters, with Independence Day, Twister, and the first instalment of Mission: Impossible owning the box office. Yet Space Jam still managed to finish a respectable 10th in worldwide box office sales that year (I did not see it in theatres. At the time I was preoccupied with other ’96 releases Happy Gilmore, Scream, Spy Hard, Steve Martin’s Sgt Bilko, and another Apatow jam, The Cable Guy). Jordan had returned from his brief retirement by the time the film came out. In his first year back — the ’95-96 season — he picked up where he left off, winning league MVP honours and securing his fourth NBA championship with the Bulls. And on the heels of Space Jam he would repeat the feat, although he’d lose out to Karl Malone in the ’97 MVP race, a decision that history doesn’t look back fondly on.
