Giannis Antetokounmpo Turned Down A Role In Space Jam 2 For The Most Giannis Reason Ever

Giannis Antetokounmpo Turned Down A Role In Space Jam 2 For The Most Giannis Reason Ever

 

A little over 22 years ago, the greatest basketball movie in history, Space Jam, was released.

LeBron James had already been confirmed to aid Bugs Bunny and his fellow Looney Toon comrades in an up and coming “Space Jam” sequel, last year, and a couple of weeks ago, it was announced that he filming will start this summer.

But LeBron James apparently has been unable to close deals with “top players” that he wants for Space Jam 2. One of them is Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Yes, the Greek Freak would have been perfect for a movie like Space Jam, but he declined, after being approached about playing a role in the film, because he wasn’t willing to give up two weeks from his private offseason training. On top of that, it’s just not his style. I think it’s about time to start a #GiannisMentality. Giannis told ESPN:

 

“I don’t like being Hollywood. I don’t like all this extra drama. I am just going to try to be me.”
