  • The final basketball sequence is criticized for too much slow motion.
  • The soundtrack receives explicit support: one participant says they love it, and another says its funky approach resembling Midnight Run works and is enjoyable. — Chris Ryan
  • The lack of rap or hip-hop is called the biggest nitpick despite that support, with the music's 1992 mainstream context discussed.
  • Above the Rim is praised for using Big Pimpin' by Snoop and the Dog Pound, offered as an example of music belonging to its specific basketball era.
  • Black Sheep's The Choice Is Yours, early Tupac, Scenario, and PM Dawn are proposed in turn, with PM Dawn immediately resisted as music the characters would not hear.
