The New York Knicks home games were filmed at the Charlotte Coliseum, home of the Charlotte Hornets. For the final game, Hornets fans were told to cheer against the Hornets.
Many of the players and coaches portrayed in the movie were associated with actual teams: Dennis Rodman, who appears in this movie with the San Antonio Spurs, was already on the Chicago Bulls at the time of the movies release; Mark Jackson, who portrays one of the Knicks players "Taylor," was actually drafted and played for the Knicks in the late 80's early 90s; Larry Johnson, the Knicks biggest rival in the movie actually went on to play for the Knicks one year after the movie was released; 3 actual New York Knicks during the time of filming had a cameo in the playground pickup scene.... John Starks, Anthony Mason, and Herb Williams all appeared during the pickup scene in the playground; and Kurt Rambis, the current New York Knicks coach (2015-16), portrays the Lakers head coach in the film; He did go on the coach the Lakers on an interim basis in 1999 but was only an assistant coach at the time of filming.
While the Knicks have been one of the worst teams in the NBA, at the time of the release they were considered to be one of the best. Although the movie portrayed them to be the worst the real life Knicks had just appeared in the NBA Finals 2 years prior to the films release in 1994

"Edwina "Eddie" Franklin: Hey, Patton, pass the ball! What are you, the black hole of basketball? Come on! Joe Sparks: (to Stacy) You going to let her call you a black ho? Darren Taylor: Man, a HOLE. Stacy Patton: What's a black hole? Polynice, Olden: A black hole is a theoretical object in space. It is so dense that matter collapses... and light itself cannot escape. (shoots his free throw) Terry Hastings: I knew that."
"ESPN Radio Announcer: ESPN. Edwina "Eddie" Franklin: Yeah, put me on with this clown. ESPN Radio Announcer: (to Chris Berman) We've got a hot one on Line 4 - Eddie from Manhattan. Himself: Eddie from Manhattan, you're on live with "Wild Bill" Burgess. Edwina "Eddie" Franklin: Billy, you really want a mascot, baby? You need to put a saddle on Bailey and ride his behind around Central Park all night. That's what you need. "Wild Bill" Burgess: Ha ha. Well, you know, if that would sell tickets, I might consider it, hon. Edwina "Eddie" Franklin: Ha ha. Yeah, right, and don't call me "hon". (Eddie then realizes that "Wild Bill" is in her limousine.)"
