It's hard to say. It doesn't really seem to have any connection to the original Space Jam, other than the Looney Tunes. In the original, MJ joined with the Tunes to play against aliens, hence the "Space" in Space Jam. Space Jam: A New Legacy takes place in a virtual world. In the original, the Looney Tunes actually existed on Earth, but in this new one, it seems that they exist in the virtual world. I'd say we have to see if there's any other connection to the original film other than the name and Looney Tunes.
