Few details have been released about "Space Jam 2," but if it follows a similar storyline to the original movie, Isaiah Thomas thinks he would be the perfect choice for a specific role.
"Hell yeah! If they are going off how 'Space Jam' was (cast), how could they pick anybody other than me to play the Muggsy Bogues role?!" Thomas told HoopsHype's Alex Kennedy via text.
Bogues is the shortest player in NBA history at 5-foot-3, while Thomas stands at 5-foot-9.
Los Angeles Lakers president of basketball operations Magic Johnson and head coach Luke Walton have also expressed interest in appearing in "Space Jam 2," as has New York Knicks legend Charles Oakley.
The film is scheduled to hit theaters July 16, 2021.
