In the episode where Mark Cooper plays basketball for the Golden State Warriors, the practice scenes were taped at the Warriors' home court in Oakland, California, but the game itself was recorded at the University of California's gymnasium in Berkeley. It was an actual a preseason game against the Phoenix Suns, held in Berkeley because
Kevin Johnson, an alumnus of UC Berkeley who was playing for Phoenix at the time, was having his college number retired that night. The scenes of
Mark Curry playing were not specially scripted. Curry did, in fact, actually play in that specific game.
