Quiz
In "The Book of Basketball", Bill Simmons mentions that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar vanished from the climactic game's fourth quarter without explanation. Simmons wrote that he researched and found two possible explanations: the shooting schedule was far behind, so Kareem had to leave the set and wasn't able to return, or Kareem found out that Julius Erving was being paid more than him and angrily walked off the production. In 2013, Erving revealed that Kareem was fired from the film when he sat in Director of Photography Frank Stanley's chair, Stanley kindly asked Kareem for his seat back, and Kareem responded by heaving the chair across the basketball court.

The score before the timeout of the last game was Los Angeles 101, Pittsburgh 91, but when the game resumed, the Pisces made well over ten field goals. Their victory should have been by a double-digit margin.

Citazioni
Moses Guthrie: I'm a Pisces, man. We need a little stroke from time to time.

Versioni alternative

I was a teen-age extra!

I was actually an extra in this movie, one of the worst sports movies ever made. I only did one day's worth of work and it was one of the most boring things I've ever experienced. I'm in the scene where someone supposedly puts helium in the basketballs and they float to the top of the Civic Arena. A crane (out of camera range) had thin wires attached to the balls. The director took about 10 takes of the scene. I thought I would lose my mind, trying to act surprised every time the balls "floated." When I saw the film I was shocked at how little screen time the shot got, but not as shocked at how bad the whole movie was. With a cast as good as it has you'd think they could save it, but the script was so bad even the great Stockard Channing couldn't help!
