  • The Cameo: Loads of them.
    • Vince Carter, Allen Iverson, Jason Kidd, Desmond Mason, Alonzo Mourning, Tracy McGrady, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Gary Payton, David Robinson, Rasheed Wallace and Chris Webber Then-active NBA players, joined by retired players Reggie Theus and Geoff Witcher as the Knights' play-by-play announcers. Strangely enough, however, despite the film's title and many references of the titular basketball star, Michael Jordan never makes a physical appearance in the movie.
    • Tom Tolbert, Hannah Storm, Ahmad Rashād, Pat Croce and then-ESPNers Kenny Mayne and Rich Eisen also appear as NBA correspondents.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: A Meta example. Early into Calvin’s NBA career, he meets Allen Iverson(whom he happens to be a big fan of) and he attempts to ask for an autograph, but Iverson rudely dismisses him. 20+ years later, Bow Wow finally managed to get Iverson to sign his Sixers jersey.
