NY Knicks made fun of in Space Jam: A New Legacy

After a season in which the NY Knicks seemed to finally gain some respect, they were teased once again on the national stage by LeBron James in his new movie, Space Jam: A New Legacy.

The joke was made after LeBron’s family in the movie were trying to locate him and the idea was brought up that he was possibly “abducted by the Knicks.”

This stems from the past as New York (who had been struggling mightily for a long time) made multiple attempts to swoon Lebron to the Big Apple in order to try and turn their fortune around.
