Wissenswertes
Spike Lee originally wanted Kobe Bryant to play the part of Jesus Shuttlesworth. While Bryant liked the script, and the idea of working with Lee, he had just finished his rookie year in the NBA (the 1996-97 season), and had shot several air balls in a brutal playoff loss by the Lakers to the Utah Jazz. For this reason, Bryant planned a workout program that would help him maintain his strength through the longer NBA seasons (a major adjustment, as Kobe went straight from high school to the pros). After Bryant consequently turned the movie role down, noting that the summer of 1997 was too important to spend time making the film, Lee promptly sought out Ray Allen, who quickly accepted the lead role.

Zitate
Jesus Shuttlesworth: Basketball is like poetry in motion, cross the guy to the left, take him back to the right, he's fallin' back, then just J right in his face. Then you look at him and say, "What?"

Music Foul

Spike always made interesting choices when it comes to scores and incidentals. But this is just bizarre. Whoever scored this film almost destroyed it. Nearly every minute of exterior footage is drowned in incomprehensible symphonic spooge. During important plot furthering scenes there is loud unnecessary schmaltz. It is distracting as hell and at times even drowns out dialogue. Really weird. Movie is wonderful. Performances memorable. Unique and vital story telling. Maybe a hip hop soundtrack was too obvious. But all them horns...wtf? Gotta check SOS and Jungle Fever. See if they're this ridiculous...
