Despite never outright discussing the events of the first film, both Lola and Bugs Bunny make a sly reference. When LeBron first arrives to Tune World and lets Bugs know he's in trouble, the cartoon says, "That's familiar," with a cheeky look towards the audience before explaining the plot of the first film to a T. Later, as Bugs and LeBron try to convince Lola to join their team, Bugs mentions that this might be her only chance to play with a professional basketball player. Like Bugs, she replies, "Been there done that."
