On this occasion, the story is updated and it will not be James who is recruited by the Looney Tunes to defeat some aliens who want to play a basketball game, but ratherThe NBA player finds himself locked in a virtual reality video game and he will have to enlist the help of Bugs Bunny and friends to beat the algorithm in a basketball game and return to the real world.
