While in the past many have been against a Space Jam sequel, the response to this iteration, with the team of entertainers they’ve built, has been a slam dunk for the filmmakers.

The NBA superstars addressed the recent killing of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, and the five police officers in Dallas, TX. In their speech, they promoted social change and encouraged the athletes in the audience to use their platform for good.

Anthony said, “The system is broken, the problems are not new, the violence is not new, and the racial divide definitely is not new, but the urgency for change is definitely at an all-time high.”

Paul continued, “Generations ago, legends like Jesse Owens, Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, John Carlos and Tommie Smith, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jim Brown, Billie Jean King, Arthur Ashe and countless others, they set a model for what athletes should stand for. So we choose to follow in their footsteps.”

Wade added an important message to not only stop racial profiling, but also stop the retaliation.  

He said, “The racial profiling has to stop. The shoot-to-kill mentality has to stop. Not seeing the value of black and brown bodies has to stop. But also the retaliation has to stop. The endless gun violence in places like Chicago, Dallas, not to mention Orlando, it has to stop. Enough. Enough is enough.”

James added, “Tonight we’re honoring Muhammad Ali, the GOAT (greatest of all time). But to do his legacy any justice, let’s use this moment as a call to action to all professional athletes to educate ourselves, explore these issues, speak up, use our influence and renounce all violence and, most importantly, go back to our communities, invest our time, our resources, help rebuild them, help strengthen them, help change them. We all have to do better.”

James announced the program on August 13 as a way to give back to the city where he grew up. In his own words, “These students have big dreams, and I’m happy to do everything I can to help them get there. They’re going to have to earn it, but I’m excited to see what these kids can accomplish knowing that college is in their futures.”

The criteria for the scholarships has not yet been announced, as James and the school work together to determine the ultimate criteria. The only ones he knows for sure? They will have to graduate from the Akron public school system having met the standard testing requirements and they will have to have been involved in some community service.

James’ connection with the University of Akron stems back to his high school days, where he frequently played on their campus courts. Though he himself forewent college to play in the NBA, he knows the importance of college for kids who may not feel like they have the means. “As a kid growing up in the inner city and a lot of African-American kids, you don’t really think past high school… you graduate high school and then you never think past that because either it’s not possible or your family’s not financially stable to even be able to support a kid going to college,” James said. We’ll keep you up to date here at Good Celebrity when James comes out with more information on the requirements and application process for the scholarship.
