So how do you react when the young club team says they’ve never watched Space Jam?? Here’s some emojis to illustrate 😣🙃😲. Probably one of the craziest things I’ve heard! Back home Space Jam was like a requirement for every kid to see… more than once. Even to the point where we were memorizing lines, picking our favorite characters, and of course working on our Jordan dunks. And then when that theme song came on “Everybody get up it’s time to slam now”, it was an automatic singalong and dance session. Even to this day that song gets me hyped. So basically, I was devastated to hear that the girls never watched it before. So my teammate Allyson who coaches some of the girls decided to hold a pizza, pajamas, and Space Jam movie night. I definitely had to be in attendance just to see their reactions. Now I haven’t watched Space Jam in awhile so for some reason watching it this time around was too funny. Allyson and I were laughing so hard as if we never watched the movie before and didn’t know what was coming😅. Guess that’s what happens when you get older, things get funnier lol. Anyway, I was happy that the girls enjoyed the movie because not only is it a cute and funny movie, but it teaches about teamwork and that ever-present theme of never giving up. And just being able to share a piece of my childhood with them was great. Next movie night… High School Musical💃🏽.
