"SLAM" was originally named "Nothing is Impossible."

The actors trained over 6 months over every weekend to execute over 200
basketball plays that would later be used in the film.

"SLAM" is the first basketball film in Asia.

To prepare themselves for their roles and the heavy basketball scenes,
Zhang Yi Shan and Lin Xiao Fan attended a winter basketball training camp
at Wang Fei Hoops.

To prepare themselves for their roles Wang Wei, Ding Shao Fan, Liang Yi &
Musitafa attended weekly acting classes.

From the moment of casting to actual film date Zhang Yi Shan grew over 6
inches.

During shooting, production stopped twice as crew refused to work unless
they were paid more.

The original script was written in English and translated page by page
over a period of one month. D

uring shooting Lin Xiao Fan was injured and was unable to continue
shooting his basketball scenes. He had to be sent to the hospital
immediately for treatment. After treatment he immediately continued
shooting.

In order to cast for the film, over 100 schools and thousands of students
were looked at.

Because of a chair and who was sitting there first, Wang Wei and Musitafa
got into a fist fight and both ended up with black eyes. Total production
time took 38 days
