NBA All-Star 2016: Comedian Hannibal Buress to play MJ at TIFF's Space Jam live read

As has just been announced by TIFF, comedian Hannibal Buress will fill the Michael Jordan role in tomorrow's live read of Space Jam. Check it out:

While there was some buzz around Drake possibly filling the role, bringing in Buress will certainly provide a fun and bizarre edge to the proceedings. The only question I have now is whether Buress will play Jordan aggressively like his latest comedy special, or if he'll bring a little more of that Broad City Lincoln vibe.

As for the rest of the live read, Joel David Moore has been cast Bugs Bunny, along with:
