- Birdie’s first club recruitment is nominated for Tupac’s charming, seductive register alongside his menacing and wounded scenes.
- The club recruitment’s secret-room atmosphere and smarmy recruiter who knows Kyle’s shoe size make it a favorite.
- Kyle’s one-on-one game against Flip mixes Bernie Mac’s aggressive comedy with the moving reminder that their past championship cannot be erased.
- Birdie rejecting Bug, followed by Kyle challenging Shep and Shep addressing Nutso, is a scene candidate.
- Shep talking to a dead person and practicing without a ball raise concern about him as a prospective stepfather.
- The opening Nutso rooftop death is nominated despite being considered absurd, with inconsistent walls/glass and impractical varsity jackets.
- Big Pimpin’ into the tournament signup is a favorite forty-five seconds that deserves a longer cut.
- The first tournament montage combines hard fouls, music and the coach’s abrupt Georgetown-letter announcement.
- Shep’s thirteen-for-thirteen performance is praised.
- Shep’s midrange shooting conveys disciplined old-school skill and purity.
- Shep lighting everyone up in corduroys is an especially fun five-minute stretch.
- Kyle’s Georgetown shot directly into Regulate is nominated and looks so authentic it was once mistaken for Martin’s real college footage.
- The final game wins explicitly, with Shep’s apparent heave revealed as an alley-oop.
- Shep’s shooting form and defense are admired.
- Shep in corduroys is reiterated as the winning scene.
- Wayans’s entire performance is a comic alternative, especially the gold-Urkel remark and his post-jail introduction showing off his physique.

- The coach telling Shep he can help Kyle avoid repeating his mistakes is an additional scene nomination.
