Space Jam is a cult classic nowadays. With the release of Space Jam: A New Legacy, I knew it was time to cover the now franchise. Watching the original movie, I was struck with a realization. The game was RIGGED... and not in the way you think. The MonStars were never going to win, and they did it to themselves! How? Watch to find out!

Personally, I’d enjoy seeing the modern era and the 90s era clash. Tougher defense and much more physical play by miles COULD have the effect of wearing out a lighter, more agile team by pounding them in the paint.

I don't think so. I think the modern era could adjust. Great players will adjust to any era they're put in.

[@BessieRiggs]

@@jdapaul1351 Are you assuming that we'd be giving the modern era time to adjust? Even if you put them in a best of 7, the modern teams would probably be beaten up after the 2nd game the point where they would have to stay strictly out of the paint and hope that they are on point from beyond the arc. Old school could pound inside and make it down the court in transition.

[@jdapaul1351]

[@AlexDayz]

Except they’re not.

[@theturducken1641]

Hey MatPat! I have been wondering this for years. In the movie Child's Play 3, the beginning shows Chucky's body being picked up by a claw (THE CLAAAAWWW) (sorry had to do it) and bleeding into a vat of molten rubber to possess the new doll. Now correct me if i'm wrong, but not all of that rubber would've been used for just one doll. So why is there only one Chucky at the time? Or was there only one Chucky at the time? Are there more like in Cult Of Chucky? Could that explain how there were 2 Chuckys in Cult Of Chucky to start with? I would LOVE if you made a video on this! Also Peepachu helps me fall asleep at night so well. I love Peepachu so much

[@AdmiralBonetoPick]

Sure, the Monstars may have relatively poor stats compared to professional athletes, but the Looney Toons aren't athletes of any sort, so their own stats would be even worse.
