This movie is definitely a product of its time, and I too fondly remember playing the soundtrack on a loop in my cassette player. But isn't it time that this movie got a gritty reboot? We already have the perfect setting: North Korea. Kim Jong Un loves basketball, and was a big fan of it while in college. Who's to say that his acceptance of Dennis Rodman as "Friend for Life" wasn't based in a plot to steal the powers of the best basketball players in the world. Rodman returns to the states and steals the powers of Lebron, Durant, Carmello Anthony, Chris Paul and Kevin Garnett. Kobe Bryant, who's out with an injury or rape settlement at the time, teams up with the Looney Tunes, not in Looney Toon World, but in our world to challenge the North Koreans to a high-stakes basketball game, where two points could stand between peace in the far east, or the fall of western civilization as we know it.
