Third, 120 minutes is way too long for families. It takes people out of the story and makes it feel like you are just watching endless commercials for 120 minutes. So many product placements and pseudo commercials all over the place. The second thing is how corporate this movie is. Maybe it's just the cultural climate we live in today, but there are a lot of people who straight up don't like the guy. Maybe it's because he gets political, or maybe because he switches teams, I don't know why, but LeBron is much more polarizing. Also, even if people didn't like MJ, they respected him. I'm not sure LeBron has that same appeal. EVERYONE knew MJ and the Chicago Bulls, basketball fans or not. Also, media is so fragmented now that we really don't have those 'shared' experiences like we once did. MJ came at a time when being a celebrity wasn't so ubiquitous like it is now with the Internet and social media. However, he does not have the same aura about him that Michael Jordan did. LeBron James is an amazing basketball player and he's very popular with young adults. However, the original Space Jam looks like a classic compared to this overly produced mess of a sequel. It holds nostalgia in our eyes because it starred the greatest basketball player of all time next to some of our favorite cartoons. Let's be honest: the original Space Jam was not a great movie.
