Trivia: When sending Bugs and Daffy to pick up his basketball gear, Michael tells them that he wore his UNC shorts under his Chicago Bulls uniform in every game. He really did do this, as a good luck charm.

Trivia: In one scene Daffy suggests the team name the Ducks. Bugs then responds, "What kind of Mickey Mouse organization names a team the ducks." This refers to the 1992 Disney film "The Mighty Ducks."

Trivia: When the aliens first go to steal the talent of the NBA players, there are two fans in the stands with about a minute of screen time - the first is Patricia Heaton from "Everybody Loves Raymond", and the second is Dan Castellaneta - the voice of Homer Simpson.

Trivia: At the end while Michael is playing back again with the Bulls he has the number 45 because the Bulls had retired the 23 and 45 is the same number used by him as a baseball player.

Trivia: Noel Blanc, the son of Mel Blanc, was originally supposed to voice of the main characters, but unfortunately a contract was not made, and therefore Blanc was replaced by four other actors to do the twelve male voices.

Trivia: When Mike gets to Looney Toon land for first time there is a toy store with the letters CJ on it, that's a reference to Chuck Jones, creator of several WB characters.

Trivia: After the Monstars steal the talents of five NBA players, the NBA suspends its season fearing an unknown contagion could be affecting its players. This ended up becoming a reality for the NBA in March 2020, as the NBA indefinitely suspended its season following the discovery that Utah Jazz All-Star Rudy Gobert (and later his teammate Donovan Mitchell) tested positive for COVID-19.
