Three of the most famous sports stars of the day, basketball star Michael Jordan, hockey star Wayne Gretzky and baseball star Bo Jackson, team up to respond to emergencies around the world.

Real-life athletic superstars Bo Jackson, Michael Jordan, and Wayne Gretzky join forces as a superhero team. Usually accompanied by their female friend Denise, this Saturday morning cartoon was introduced by live-action clips of Jordan, Jackson, and Gretzky.—Tony Meier

Originally developed for ESPN, ProStars featured Gretzky and Jackson in live-action wraparounds, introducing the episode at the beginning then answering questions at the end, and game footage of Jordan. After the intro, their cartoon likenesses took over. Mike, Wayne, and Bo used their mastery of their respective sport to help Mama do battle with villains, armed with an arsenal of doo-dads, including a custom aircraft. Wannabe ProStar Denise tagged along with the guys, only to wind up usually having to be rescued by them. The show features fantastical futuristic technology that both the heroes and the supervillains they face use to their advantage.—ldavis-2
