- TriviaWas filmed April-June 2008 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and was set to be theatrically released in early 2009, but due to the financial troubles of the Weinstein Company, it saw a straight-to-DVD release on February 9, 2010.
- GoofsDuring the first few plays of the State Championship, one of the Patriots passes is stolen and taken down the court. The player with the ball then lobs the ball to a player wearing a #22 jersey, who then dunks it. When the camera zooms in on the player the jersey number has changed to #21.
- Quotes
Al Collins: Most of y'all have played for me before, so you know I don't claim to be some basketball guru. My playbook is downright simple; only five set offensive plays. Five. Now believe it or not, we can go all the way with just those five plays. We're gonna practice those plays 1000 times. We're gonna practice 'em, till they are part of your... your DNA. All you boys need are three things: One, execution. Two, cohesiveness, which is just another fancy word for teamwork. You must learn to act as one unit on both ends of the court. One finger can't pick up a pebble. But one hand... can move the Earth. Three, effort. You must bring it to every practice. You must bring it to every moment, to every second of every game. You leave that out there on that hard wood, and win or lose, you will never have to look in the mirror and wonder "Did I do enough?" We could have ourselves a great year fellas. A great year. But it all starts right here and right now.

This movie also fits for kids my age and up, and parents as well. That's why I think this movie was interesting.
But my favorite character was Brian Randof played by Robbie Jones. I liked him because he reminds me of me because before no one wanted me on their team or gave me the ball. The reason why was I never passed the ball until I opened my eyes and saw that when I needed help I had four other players just like what happened to Brian.
Another actor I liked was Shad Moss, but you also know him as Bow Wow. I liked him because he showed people that size doesn't matter. Like you could be big and be the worst or you can be small and be the best on the court.
That's what the movie showed me.
