Space Jam 2 Is On, Harden & Paul Complain About Ref, NBA’s Proposal To Lower Draft Age

BASKETBALL

SpringHill Entertainment confirmed Space Jam 2 is happening. LeBron James will star in the sequel to the original Space Jam movie starring Michael Jordan and a supporting cast of Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, Muggsy Bogues, Shawn Bradley, Charles Barkley, Bill Murray and of course Bugs Bunny.  No word yet on who will join LeBron in this much-anticipated sequel set to hit theaters on July 16th, 2021.

The Houston Rockets lost 111-106 to the LA Lakers on Thursday night. James Harden kept his streak (32 consecutive games) of 30-points (or more) per game alive, but the big story of the night involved teammates James Harden and Chis Paul complaining about referee Scott Foster.  Harden said he believes Foster is “rude and arrogant”. Paul added “I don’t know what else to do, know what I mean? I met with the league with him before and all this stuff. I don’t know what else to do.” Foster is a 25-year veteran of the league, but in a 2016 LA Times poll was voted by the players and coaches the league’s worst referee.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver submitted a proposal to the National Basketball Players Association to lower the draft-eligible age from 19 to 18. The NBA hopes the rule change is agreed upon and officially in place by the 2022 draft.
