At long last, the greatest basketball film of all time is getting a sequel. Mashable confirmed the development of Space Jam 2 on May 2.

Starring Lebron James, directed by Justin Lin and featuring a bunch of cartoons, the film will surely spark even more debates about Lebron's legacy in the shadow of Michael Jordan.
