Bugs Bunny from Space Jam
Bugs Bunny is one of the most iconic of the Looney Tunes and has existed in many different iterations, including as a basketball player in Space Jam and Space Jam: A New Legacy. Playing opposite NBA superstars including Michael Jordan and LeBron James, Bugs must rally his friends to defend the Earth from an intergalactic threat by winning against the Goon Squad on the court. To dress like Basketball Bugs, you’ll need to start with a rabbit costume like a onesie and layer a basketball uniform over top. You can add additional details like gloves and slippers, or opt for a set of bunny ears instead of the hood. Likewise, if you want to take it to the next level, you can sew or glue a rabbit tail to the outside of your chosen uniform’s shorts.
Space Jam: A New Legacy
In 1996 Space Jam awed kids all over. Even kids who didn’t watch basketball begged to see it because of Michael Jordan and all the Looney Tunes. A new generation of kids gets to experience the same enchantment with Space Jam: A New Legacy. This time they’re treated to LeBron James as he tries to rescue his son from a wayward AI. And, with the help of the Looney Tunes, he knows he can.
Unlike most of the players in Space Jam, you can choose your team. If you’re feeling a little more mischievous than usual you can join the Goon Squad with purple shorts and a custom jersey. A full Toon Squad set lands you with Bugs and the gang. And a face painting kit can help you get the look of your favorite character. You might want to get Bugs’ look or maybe you want to go with Chronos’ style and get in sync with time.
Lola Bunny
In Space Jam, Lola Bunny is a player on the basketball team Tune Squad and the sassy and beautiful girlfriend of Bugs Bunny. She helps battle the villainous Monstars as the second best player on the team, just behind His Airness, Michael Jordan, himself.
Michael Jordan in Space Jam
Michael Jordan plays himself in the 1996 live-action/animated sports film Space Jam, a crossover with Warner Bros. Looney Tunes. The film presents a fictional alternate history of what happened between Jordan’s initial retirement from the NBA in 1993 and his comeback in 1995, in which he becomes embroiled in events involving Bugs Bunny and his friends by joining their basketball team, Tune Squad.
