About Space Jam 2: LeBron James teams up with Warner Bros. to make TV and film




Basketball superstar LeBron James widely known as King James extended his kingdom from basketball to entertainment last Wednesday. James' entertainment company Springhill declared a production partnership with Warner Bros. to generate content for television, film and digital platforms. Word of the deal instantly sparked hearsay that it could mean that "Space Jam 2" could be in the works. The original 1996 "Space Jam," starring Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny, still has a cult-like following. A Warner Bros. spokesperson, however, had no comment.




It won't be his first entertainment journey he presently stars in the movie "Trainwreck." He had set up the SpringHill Entertainment Company in 2013 with a business partner. In announcing the arrangement, James said that "telling meaningful stories have always been my passion."

Know the Facts About a Basketball Player









Professional basketball players come in all sizes and shapes and play in a range of different associations, but some common facts about them do exist. These particulars are based on averages, which consist of the average player’s age, height and salary. You can also look at things beyond the real sport, such as the player’s college education. While no two basketball players have the precise same backgrounds and  attributes, the averages regarding these athletes present the facts.

* Height
Most people at present recognize the enormous height of basketball players, it should come as no wonder that the average player stood 6 feet 6.98 inches in 2008.

* Salary
NBA salaries differ greatly, but the average player generates more than $5 million per year, according to National Public Radio. The rookie salary part, the lowest that an NBA player can perhaps make in a season, remains at $473,604.


* Age
Basketball players differ in age, although the average remains between 26 and 28. Since 1985, the highest average age occurred in the 1999-2000 season at 27.95 years, while the lowest average age occurred in 1986-87 at 26.53 years.


* College
In 2005, the NBA reformed its rules to state that NBA teams could not draft players under the age of 19 to play on their rosters.
