The Greatest Movie of All Time: Space jam

Rainier

You ever seen a movie that inspired you and changed your life? Maybe it was Braveheart maybe it was Rocky maybe it was Good Will Hunting maybe it was the Wizard of Oz. But the movie that had the biggest impact on me was none of these. My favorite movie doesn’t have a yellow brick road or a corny plot about an underdog. My favorite movie has a plot way more important than that and a star studded cast to go along with it. When you think of Michael Jordan you think of 6 NBA championships you think of 5 mvps you think of horrible HanesTM commercials. You don’t think of his role in the greatest movie of all time. But Michael Jordan did have a role in the greatest movie of all time and he starred alongside Bugs Bunny. Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan is the best combination we have seen since they decided to have common ground and the bus evacuation drill on the same day!

In the movie an evil alien theme park boss wants to capture the whole Looney Tunes gang and bring them to his theme park so more people will come to it. When the evil aliens gang the “Nerdlucks” come to capture the Looney Tunes squad, Bugs Bunny challenges the Nerdlucks to a game of basketball to decide if the Looney Tunes have to go be slaves at the theme park. Huge Stakes, think Red Sox vs Yankees game 7 of the American League Championship. The Looney Tunes posse are trash at basketball so they enlist the help of Michael Jordan. What the Looney Tunes squad don’t know is that the Nerdlucks stole the basketball skills from players such as the legend himself Larry Bird, and from Charles Barkley. The basketball game is an epic showdown; a showdown almost as big as the Olympians versus the Titans. Ultimately the Looney Tunes squad prevails thanks largely in part to Mr. Michael Jordan's tremendous performance.

The reason this movie spoke to me on a spiritual level was because I realize that however low I ever get in life, I can always find comfort in knowing that Michael Jordan was able to carry a whole team on his back and not have to do arthritis medication commercials later in life.
