With a lifetime grossing income of over $90 million dollars, Space Jam is the top grossing basketball movie ever produced by almost $15 million dollars (Richard, 2016). Space Jam, according to the rotten tomatoes website, scored a 63% audience rating and a 37% on the tomatometer. Both of these scores, however, scored above the average mark set for both of the scales (rottentomatoes.com, n.d.). This fantasy/science-fiction film helps depict the image that sports are “larger than life,” and athletes focus primarily on their sport and competition over their families, kids, and lives outside of sports. Thus meaning that they perceive sports to be the most important thing in their lives. My first argument to support this claim depicts the part in the movie where Michael Jordan has been kidnapped and is stuck in the 3 Dimensional world. Jordan never tries to get back…
The space sector is an increasingly complex and competitive operating environment. They contend with daily economic uncertainty, shifting regulations and the increasingly complex demands of meeting their agency objectives. Today, space technologies are important to daily life, contributing to knowledge of our universe, enhancing national security, and provide guidance when natural disasters occur. However, many emerging nations and private corporations are creating an increasingly complex…
Space Jam was one of the first popular animated movies. There is a very short list of animated movies that were successful prior to the release of Space Jam. There are only five animated films that are grossing higher than space jam that were released before Space Jam. After the release of Space Jam in 1996, six movies came out in the decade that topped Space Jam on the top grossing list. These six movies could most likely thank the success of space jam that made animated movies increasingly…
Ever since I can remember, I’ve always loved the movie, Space Jam. The movie introduced me to Bill Murray (starring as Bill), to Danny DeVito (who played the evil theme park proprietor - Swackhammer), and of course to the the infamous Michael Jordan. I was so engorged in this sci-fi kids movie that I related almost everything to Michael Jordan and Space Jam. In school, I’d only buy Gatorade products, I’d constantly worry about what Bugs Bunny would think if I failed a test, or if switching from…
Just off the top of the blue and yellow slides of Martin Tudor Splash Park, is Isaac Banuelos wearing his all red uniform.

Jovan Lucas-Chamberlain is my full name, but most people call me Jay-voe. Not sure where the nickname originated, but I love it. Before I get into the meat and potatoes, lets dive into my past. In 2010, I attended Georgia Southern University with my best friend. No one made us go to class nor clean our rooms. Eventually, we developed a routine. Our routine was to skip class, get high or drunk, and last but most importantly, get laid. Honestly, I do not think I attended one class my entire tenure…
