NBA All-Star Weekend (Feb. 12-14) is a week away, and the excitement is extending from TNT to other Turner properties such as Cartoon Network. As part of the network’s All-Star Jam on Feb. 11, a handful of NBA stars will appear on Cartoon Network programming, headlined by LeBron James.
Here’s a clip of “Basketball Superstar LeBron James,” as he introduces himself, on Teen Titans Go!, via Entertainment Weekly:
Who would have guessed King James harbored a secret desire to dress as a mascot? The man just wants to get some laughs. We wouldn’t learn these things if not for cartoons.
In addition to James, Paul George, Kyrie Irving and Damian Lillard will appear in cartoon form on We Bare Bears. The network released this clip of the NBA All-Star trio in their animated incarnations, along with footage of them recording their voices in studio.

The Teen Titans Go! episode with James will air Thursday, Feb. 11 at 6 p.m. ET, while George, Irving and Lillard will appear on We Bare Bears at 7 p.m. Cartoon Network will also give kids the opportunity to send questions to their favorite NBA players through the CN Sayin’ app during the week leading up to NBA All-Star Weekend.
If only we could see the Golden State Warriors take on Justice League Unlimited at some point. Who would win that one? Maybe next year.
