Space Jam: The Nerdlucks Steal Talent From NBA Players

Here is a clip from Space Jam featuring the Nerdlucks stealing talent from NBA Players such as Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing. I see this part of the movie as very funny because the players really do appear like they lost their talent. It wasn't just their talent they lost. They also lost their coordination and concentration.

I'm glad no mysterious illness could ever shut down the NBA like this.

stealing Charles barkley's talent is one of the smartest moves since the aliens have a weapon to fight godzilla.

The moment the scene with the cars honking in New York City at night, the NBA players playing basketball, and the music playing in the background gets me every time. So awesome.

When I recently rewatched this movie as an adult, the part where she says “this guy sitting next to me is doing something very weird in his raincoat” had howling with laughter due to the blatant adult reference joke in that scene.

They got Charles out there looking like he directing traffic 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Michael eating McDonald's while watching the players, getting their talents stolen from the cartoon aliens.

The way the Nerdlucks overhear Dan Castellaneta say "Barkley's killing us!" and assume one of the basketball players is literally killing someone reminds me of the Rugrats and their similar gullible misunderstandings.

"This is as good as i could get" Homer Simpson

3:18 I used to imitate that scene whenever I had a squirtbottle🤣 classic

[chango_fett]

3:21 This movie has genuinely intelligent comedy, that part made me burst out laughing, the fact that Larry Johnson has lost his talent for shooting, which even made him miss drinking water is hilarious, a movie that far surpasses the new movie in terms of genius.

[RacerGuy]

“Honey, will you just let me watch the game? Barkley’s killing us!”

[travism]

*Steals Ben Simmons’ talent* oh wait… can’t steal what’s not there 😂

[Zistheone]

The Nerdlucks were hands down my favorite part of Space Jam, even more than when they became the Monstars

[SuperSoldier]

2:12-2:30 The way that alien corrupted Charles Barkley was one thing but the way he corrupted Patrick Ewing, now that was funny to me

[plantera]

Damn, those monstars really absorbed human souls to become Godlike

[harlemsfinest]

The moment I became a Knicks fan! 1994 I didn't know basketball was this huge organized machine I was 6! But I loved my hometown NY so when I seen it slapped across Ewing's jersey my fandom just activated!

This game would've had some great Shaqtin a Fool content
