What a load of shit.
Air Bud came out in 1997.
There's no fucking way that a golden retriever can live twenty-nine years, let alone remain competitive in basketball.

If youre 30 or older, you've outlived every dog and cat* alive when you were born
the plot is way more bonkers than that.
in-universe, the movie Air Bud exists. the new child watches that, and then the plot of the original Air Bud basically happens again; kid's dad is dead, golden retriever comes into his life, and I guess this time he names it after the dog from the movie he saw? and also unless the film decides to get really meta I doubt the child will ever comment on the absurdity that his life is basically the plot of the movie he only recently saw.
They couldn’t wait one more year for the 30th anniversary.
Somehow, Air Bud returned.
Why????
There's nothing in the rulebook that says you can't reboot a movie of a dog playing basketball!
Because corporate bozo have so little imagination that they think that what they love when they were kid (the last time they had fun without coke) will sell perfectly
