Plot
In 1998, a young LeBron James is dropped off at a youth league basketball game, by his mother. His friend Malik gives him a Game Boy, on which LeBron plays, until his coach forces him to concentrate on his skills. After he misses a potential buzzer beater and is reprimanded by his coach, LeBron decides to follow his advice and disowns the Game Boy.

In the present day, LeBron encourages his sons, Darius and Dominic, to pursue basketball careers. While LeBron's attempts with Darius are successful, Dom aspires to become a video game developer. LeBron, Malik and Dom are later invited to the Cartoon Network Studios, to discuss a film deal; LeBron rejects the idea, while Dom is interested in the studio's CN 3000 software, particularly its AI, Al-G Rhythm. Their differing wishes lead to an argument, as Dom reveals his hatred towards LeBron's guidance. Al-G, who has become self-aware and grown an obsession for more recognition in the world, lures them to the basement server room and traps them in the CN Serververse.

Taking Dom hostage, Al-G orders LeBron to form a basketball team to compete against his own, only earning his freedom if he wins and sends him through the Serververse to an abandoned Lakewood Plaza Turbo inhabited only by K.O., who explains that Al-G persuaded the other Heroes and Villains to leave their world and explore other Warner Bros. franchises. Using Enid’s bike, the two travel to various Warner Bros. worlds to locate and team up the other Heroes and Villains to form the Plaza Squad. Meanwhile, Al-G manipulates Dom to allow his help in upgrading himself and his game, which Al-G intends to use against LeBron.

Back in Lakewood Plaza Turbo, despite K.O.’s hesitancy, LeBron insists on teaching the Plaza Squad the fundamentals of basketball, disapproving of them playing the game with their superhero physics. They encounter Al-G's team, the Goon Squad, comprised of avatars of basketball players and led by Dom. Al-G upgrades the Heroes and Villains into CGI, reverts the cartooned LeBron back to live-action, livestreams the game and abducts several viewers, including LeBron's family, into the Serververse, as various Warner Bros.-owned spectators arrive. Al-G threatens to delete the Heroes and Villains and imprison the real-world spectators permanently, if the Goon Squad wins.

The Goon Squad easily lead the first half, using their powers to score extra points. LeBron realizes his error and allows the Heroes and Villains to use their superhero physics, to conquer the second half of the game. During a time-out, LeBron apologizes to Dom for not respecting his wishes, who forgives him and joins the Plaza Squad. Al-G assumes control of the game, joins the Goon Squad and uses his abilities to substantially strengthen them. Recalling a glitch in Dom's game, where a character is deleted and the game crashes, after a specific move is performed, LeBron volunteers to perform the move, potentially risking his life, but K.O. performs the move at the last moment, sacrificing himself in the process. LeBron scores the winning point with Dom throwing a jump pad power-up to his father's feet, deleting Al-G and the Goon Squad. The Heroes and Villains are reverted back to their traditional designs, the Serververse spectators are returned to their respective worlds and LeBron's family and the other real-world spectators are returned to the real world as K.O. bittersweetly reconciles with his friends before he gets deleted.

One week later, LeBron, understanding Dom's wishes, allows him to attend the E3 Game Design Camp. He subsequently reunites with K.O., who reveals that his cartoon physics allowed him to regenerate and that his friends have entered the real world also. LeBron accepts the Heroes and Villains as his extended family and thus allows them to temporarily move in with him.
