Jordan's filmed bits were almost always one line or two, and not part of the skits before the episode. Normally this is done solely by Gretzky and Jackson-often in separate sound stages and edited to appear as if talking to each other. The stars appear in live-action sequences before the show, in which they would tell kids about the upcoming episode, and often answer questions from kids at the conclusion.

A reference to his ' Bo Knows' Nike ad-campaign was worked into almost every episode.

While Jordan and Gretzky are broadly associated with their respective sports, Jackson was included since he could represent both football and baseball and was a high-profile celebrity off the field as well. These three were chosen to represent the pinnacle of all four major American professional sports in the early 1990s. 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. The series was produced by DIC Animation City and Reteitalia, S.p.A., in association with Spanish network Telecinco. Three famous and popular professional athletes from the 1990s appear in the show in live action and as fictional super hero characters: Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky and Bo Jackson. ProStars is a cartoon television show featured on Saturday morning cartoon that aired on NBC from September 14 to December 7, 1991.

' ProStars, it's all about helping kids'.
