    Space Jam is a cult classic nowadays. With the release of Space Jam: A New Legacy, I knew it was time to cover the now franchise. Watching the original movie, I was struck with a realization. The game was RIGGED... and not in the way you think. The MonStars were never going to win, and they did it to themselves! How? Watch to find out!

    What makes you think they would have necessarily stolen the talents of the same players as they did the last time they played if they were to return? The players got their talents back near the end of the movie. Would they really all hunt down the same players wherever they were or would it be more likely they'd rob from new players out of the first teams they saw after landing?

Just to give an example in the episode Kitchen Sponge it was the beginnings of planktons evil plans and it reveals that spongebob was the original maker of the krabby pattie.

    It seems like this video was made under the assumption that the Monstars would have the basketball abilities of the same players as in the original movie. Since the Monstars lost their stolen basketball abilities at the end of Space Jam 1, they would have had to reacquire some. I doubt that they would have stolen them from the same players as in the original, and would have likely gotten their abilities from newer faces to the NBA.

Now correct me if i'm wrong, but not all of that rubber would've been used for just one doll. So why is there only one Chucky at the time? Or was there only one Chucky at the time? Are there more like in Cult Of Chucky? Could that explain how there were 2 Chuckys in Cult Of Chucky to start with? I would LOVE if you made a video on this!

    I've got many reasons on how they cheated but let's use 3
    1. Elmer and Sam used guns on the court
    2. Bugs rode a moped to take the ball
    3. Four words: Daffy and red paint
    Oh and the amount of travels in the game
