      Production


      Shanghai Film Group approached the NBA with the idea for a film centered on basketball and video games. The production company sent director Sherwood Hu to New York to make the sales pitch. NBA officials were enthused about the idea and arranged for Anthony, Howard and Pippen to participate. Filming began in fall of 2010 in Shanghai with the scenes with the NBA players, who were available only for a few days each because of training schedules. production was halted for half a year while Hu polished the script and waited for some of his other actors to finish other films. Shooting resumed the following spring and wrapped in October 2011. Language was a key issue during the production because of the cast that included actors from the United States, China, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
