Paul George -- Forget Lebron ... I Want To Be In 'Space Jam 2'

Steph Curry isn't the only NBA superstar taking on LeBron this week ... 'cause Paul George tells TMZ Sports that he might wanna slide into "Space Jam 2" even though it's a role that was fit for the King.

George was out in L.A. recently when we asked about his favorite basketball movies ... and whether or not he'd ever want to step onto the silver screen.

Check out the clip -- George says the one film that might get him to flex his acting skills is "Space Jam 2" -- a flick that's been rumored to be in development for a couple of years now, with LeBron supposedly in the lead role.
