Out of all the film's connections to Space Jam, I probably got the most joy from the Nerdlucks' surprise appearance. Knowing that Space Jam: A New Legacy had been considered a stand-alone follow-up versus a direct sequel, I didn't have high hopes that these weird little aliens would be present. Did they say or do anything particularly noteworthy? No, but they did cheer on the Tune Squad, which shows that their character growth from the first film stuck.
