LeBron James’ first three picks in the All-Star draft reserve round: Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson, Damian Lillard.
Like many things LeBron does, that sparked theories about him recruiting stars to the Lakers. Casting for ‘Space Jam 2' is another generator of recruiting speculation.
So, the overlap here will surely only intensify conspiracy theories.
Shams Charania of The Athletic:
Sources: Space Jam 2, starring LeBron James, is expected to feature key roles for Damian Lillard, Anthony Davis and Klay Thompson and WNBA stars Diana Taurasi and Nneka Ogwumike. Several more NBA and WNBA players, including Chiney Ogwumike, are expected to play roles in film.

Davis – who tipped his involvement in the film while still with the Pelicans – is already headed to the Lakers.
But Lillard is reportedly set to sign a super-max extension with the Trail Blazers, and Klay Thompson will reportedly re-sign with the Warriors.
Still, if Lillard and Thompson get a taste of Hollywood and enjoy it…
