During the scene after the bachelor party when Harper (Taye Diggs) was at Jordan's (Nia Long) apartment, Jordan slaps Harper. The slap was unscripted. Nia Long improvised because she felt "something was missing." Taye Diggs', "Whoo," reaction was real and he was angry at Nia for hitting him so hard. Once he saw it on screen, he liked the scene.
Three cast members from "The Best Man" also appeared in "Love & Basketball" one year later in 2000. Sanaa Lathan, Regina Hall, and Monica Calhoun have parts in both movies.
Larenz Tate was offered the lead role of Harper Stewart but turned it down as he felt it was too similar to his character in Love Jones with them both being writers.
Regina Hall's debut.

"Jordan Armstrong: You know, maybe if I had the luxury of getting my ass whooped, I could be calm right now. But I have been drinking tequila shots, my hormones are raging out of control, I'm emotional, I'm horny, and I don't wanna hear about no goddamn peas! Fuck you! Good night!"
"Julian Murch: Shelby, it's over. I am not the man for you and you are not the woman for me so let's just stop fooling ourselves. I hope you find what you're looking for, because that's exactly what I plan to do. I have to go. Bye, Shelby. [he goes inside the church] Quentin: [Q points at the ground] Don't you think you oughta pick that up? Shelby: [she looks down] What? Quentin: Your bottom jaw! [laughs hystrically] Harper Stewart: [Harper and Robin come up the stairs] Q! Oh, morning, Shelby. Shelby: Oh, go to hell! [she storms in the church] Harper Stewart: I'll probably see you there."
