Making Our Own 'Space Jam' Sequel: The Monstars’ New Starting Five

Space Jam Sequel Monstars Muggsy Bogues Shawn Bradley Charles Barkley Patrick Ewing — Villains never die, they just fade away — at least when they’re animated. Arguably no miscreants have been more memorable than the Monstars from the 1996 movie 'Space Jam'. Since Hollywood has been slow with the sequel, I’ve provided a mandatory rebirth to the Monstars’ starting lineup.

5. Nate Robinson — PG

Nate Robinson Space Jam Sequel — Instead of Muggsy Bogues, we’ll go with Nate Robinson at point guard. Look for Robinson to have an even better vertical in lower-gravity space arenas and move like an elusive squirrel around multiple illegal screens. If Robinson is somehow unavailable for this picture, the role will go immediately to Kevin Hart.

4. Roy Hibbert — C

Roy Hibbert Space Jam Sequel Monstars — Patrick Ewing’s role will be filled by Roy Hibbert for the 2015 revival. The 7-foot-2 center is actually two inches taller than Ewing, and this will pay dividends down in the lead-based Monstar paint.

3. Russell Westbrook — SG

Russell Westbrook Space Jam Sequel Monstars — A shooting guard in a point guard’s body, Russell Westbrook has the perfect amount of tenacity to be a successful Monstar. Westbrook won’t quit until the Toon Squad waves the white flag, and he won’t hesitate to knock Bugs Bunny’s enormous teeth out with an elbow.

2. Pau Gasol — F

Pau Gasol Space Jam Sequel Monstars — Usurping Shawn Bradley, expect Gasol to help the Monstars just about anywhere within 18 feet of the basket. Gasol may not immediately adopt the Monstars' devious style of play, but nightly double-doubles could make up for taking this diplomatic stance.

1. Anthony Davis — F

Anthony Davis Space Jam Sequel Monstars — The Monstars coach/GM/ruthless dictator Mr. Swackhammer loves to hoard height. Swackhammer’s jackhammer will be Anthony Davis, a 6-foot-10 forward with guard handles and the odds-on front-runner for most valuable Monstar.
