Why was Shawn Bradley in Space Jam?

[Memorial Stadium Piru]

Ok, yeah, he swatted shots at BYU, he was 7'6, but he wasn't even that good. His stats were mediocre, if they wanted a young star C they could've gotten Alonzo Mourning or Shaq, if they wanted a GOOD white big man, hell, they could've gotten Detlef Schrempf or Christian Laettner

One of the earths biggest mysteries

 

[UpAndComing]

In the words of Julius Erving on NBA Open Court show when Steve Kerr asked why he was on here

"Diversity, it's cause of Diversity"

 

[GhostoftheMan]

he was super tall and had a distinct look compared to charles, muggsy and ewing

because he was as freakishly tall as Muggsy was short

 

[Memorial Stadium Piru]

because he was as freakishly tall as Muggsy was short

Muggsy was actually a good point guard

 

[jwinfield]

because he was as freakishly tall as Muggsy was short

Goofy looking tall and would make a good cartoon character

 

[tremonthustler1]

Muggsy was actually a good point guard

And Bradley was a real good shot blocker.


It's Space Jam. Not the Dream Team.

 

[MJ Truth]

You do realize it was a movie and not an actual team right?

 

[Alexander The Great]

You do realize it was a movie and not an actual team right?

 

[David_TheMan]

Same reason Bill Murray could ball with supposed NBA greatness. Hollywood needs white boys.
Aint no reason Magic and Bird couldn't have been the backups for the Toons and gave JOrdan 5 minutes of hot fire before they faded out

 

[ChuckTaylor84]

because he was white?

 

[Bernie Madoff]

believe it or not he was one of the most known players in the NBA... he was trash no doubt, but his height gave him some mainstream recognition early in his career

 

[Scottie Drippin]

Muggsy was actually a good point guard

Shawn Bradley was as good a center as he was a PG.

 

[ManBearPig]

Bradley wasn't even bad back then. .

He actually had a pretty good season the year space jam came out in
