In a surprising crossover, NBA legend LeBron James and his daughter Zhuri recently joined the animated world of 'Phineas and Ferb' in a unique episode of 'Cartoonified!' on Disney+. This episode, which aired on February 13, 2026, showcases a fun and imaginative side of the basketball superstar, leaving fans entertained and intrigued.
But here's where it gets exciting: James and Zhuri are presented with a 300-point trick shot challenge, a feat no NBA player has ever attempted. As James confidently assesses the shot, he's informed that the basketball hoop is not just high, but thousands of feet up in the sky! This revelation sparks a fun adventure as they use trampolines to reach the rim, with James questioning the safety of the endeavor.
As they approach the hoop, a twist occurs, and a shark intervenes, adding an unexpected obstacle. Zhuri's volleyball skills save the day, and she scores an impressive 300 points. The episode concludes with a playful challenge from Phineas and Ferb, suggesting a shot worth 3,000 points that would take them into space. James' witty response suggests cartoonifying another NBA star, Luka Doncic, for the task.
This episode marks a creative collaboration, blending animation with live-action, and is the first time an athlete has appeared on the show. With all seven episodes now available on Disney+, fans can enjoy this unique blend of sports and animation, leaving many wondering what other surprises this series might have in store.
