With the excitement building ahead of the much anticipated release of Space Jam 2: A New Legacy , some key characters have been unveiled.

Announced via the official twiiter of the film, we now know the role that some of the biggest names in basketball will fill. NNeka Ogwunmike (Los Angeles Sparks), Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers), Anthony Davis (Los Angeles Lakers), Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors) and Diana Taurasi (Phoenix Mercury) will all be joining the 'Goon Squad'.

How the 'Goon Squad' comes together is unknown at this point, but with the individual talents of the players in real life, we feel like they will pose a significant challenge to the 'Tune Squad' when Space Jam 2: A New Legacy is released.
