LeBron James will reportedly star in Space Jam 2.
He might be joined on the silver screen by Cavaliers teammate J.R. Smith.
TMZ:TMZ Sports has learned producers have already reached out to Cavs star J.R. Smith for a role in the flick.
We spoke to Smith’s rep Daniel Hazan ... who says producers contacted him a few weeks ago to see if Smith would be down for a part -- and J.R.'s ears perked up.
“There is mutual interest,” Hazan says.
As for the role -- nothing’s set in stone, but producers have kicked around the idea of Smith possibly voicing an animated character ... a la “the Monstars” from the original.
This is the advantage of playing with LeBron. It brings opportunities often reserved for All-Stars like Blake Griffin and Isaiah Thomas, who want parts in the movie.
Just something to keep in mind as Smith can hit free agency this summer.
