The website moved a lot. See the Web Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20041015000000*/spacejam.com/

Some years it redirects to WB's website, sometimes to an archive website, etc.

It seems that the original was not accessible between 2000 and 2018.

It is hardly surprising that they'd reactivate it. A new Space Jam movie[1] is coming out next year. I know this somehow and am not proud of it.

Anyone who has even casually followed the NBA over the last two years probably knows this too, so you've got plenty of company.

Interesting. I would have sworn that I remember “the Space Jam website is still up” being a common fun fact on the internet when I was in college 10 years ago.

In fact, here’s a reddit post about this fun fact from 2010:

The original URL, the highly memorable http://www2.warnerbros.com/spacejam/movie/jam.htm shows as pretty consistently available on the Internet Archive since 2003.
