The veracity of the basketball scenes was extremely important to the show’s creators, and all the game scenes were carefully choreographed to come off as realistic as possible. If there was a schoolyard one-on-one that went to ten points, by god, they were going to show you all ten points. One unbelievable scene had me replaying the thing about ten times to look for an edit or some camera chicanery. In the episode where Thorpe is dating the school hose monster, she walks by the schoolyard court where the guys are shooting around. Thorpe sees her, and in an effort to impress, takes a pass and jumps into the air, spins a 360, and buries a 12-foot jumper. No edit. No sh*t.
