And I still enjoy that movie till now. Of course a 12 years old won't know anything about "the industry, the trades, reviews and franchises" and I admit the sequel was horrible but this was lovely. For "which NBA player is the best actor?" I will say Shaq although i know everyone will disagree :P. But he is the funniest athlete around (Scary Movie 4 -ROFL). @Hunter Stephenson

It was expected to gross $200-300 million domestically and was considered a huge disappointment by the industry and the trades. Ninety million was laughed at for then entire season by mags, viewers et al. That is why there was never a sequel(s), and the studio/MJ had planned on making a Space Jam franchise, rides et al. Not to mention, the flick was terrible, even for a kid's film, Bill Murray excluded (duh). Worldwide it did fine, yes, but domestically it was a huge flop, a belly flop even, considering the expectations. The reviews didn't keep them from making sequels, and comparisons to Shaq's filmography are not adequate. Maybe you had to be there, but I'm standing by my point and will stab Wikipedia. @ MaK & LOTNorm
