Many people may not know this, but the first athlete to have an animated cartoon series was Michael Jordan. In the 1990s, Jordan was at the height of his career with the Chicago Bulls, and his popularity was soaring. It was during this time that he teamed up with Warner Bros. to create the iconic "Space Jam" movie, which featured Jordan alongside beloved Looney Tunes characters like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.

The success of "Space Jam" led to the creation of a Saturday morning cartoon series called "Michael Jordan: His Airness." The show aired on various networks and followed the adventures of a fictionalized version of Jordan as he used his basketball skills to fight crime and save the day. The series was a hit with fans of all ages and further solidified Jordan's status as a cultural icon.

Today, the legacy of "Space Jam" and "His Airness" lives on through the recent release of "Space Jam: A New Legacy," a sequel to the original film starring LeBron James. The movie continues the tradition of blending live-action and animation, paying homage to the classic Looney Tunes characters and the spirit of competition that Jordan embodied.
