Michael Jordan, Space Jam And The Making Of A Pop Culture Icon

Today marks the 20th anniversary of Warner Brothers released Space Jam, a live-action and animation film starring Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes. Despite a horrendous movie score from Rotten Tomatoes and terrible reviews from critics, the film helped Jordan’s already iconic image reach a new height. The movie blended everything into one—major ’90s stars, a full roster of beloved cartoon characters, iconic sneakers and one of the best soundtracks ever. Jordan’s crossover appeal is unmatched and we decided to look at the impact Space Jam had on his illustrious career.
