[1] Three professional athletes from that era appear in the show in live action and as fictional super hero characters: Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, and Bo Jackson.

Originally intended to air on ESPN, the show centers on Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson and Wayne Gretzky fighting crime, helping children, and often protecting the environment as well.

Other times, a villain might hold a child for ransom, such as a mad scientist named Dr. Lobe who demanded the ProStars play his line of robot athletes in order to release a little girl he kidnapped.

One episode dealt with the larceny of the Stanley Cup committed by Clockwork Delaronge (which is a personal issue for Wayne Gretzky as his name is carved on it four times) and he tells kids of the history and prestige of the award.

In the same year, BMG Kidz, through the DIC Toon-Time Video series, released three single VHS tapes with the episodes "Roll to Victory", "The Perbots of Dr. Lobe" and "The Valley of the Snow Falcon".

In October 2003, Sterling Entertainment released a DVD called "Slam Dunkin' with the Airman", containing the episodes "Gargantus and the Highway of Doom", "Knightmare Riders" and "Roll to Victory".
