BASEketball is a 1998 American sports comedy film co-written and directed by David Zucker, starring South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and costarring Yasmine Bleeth, Jenny McCarthy, Robert Vaughn, Ernest Borgnine and Dian Bachar. The film is about BASEketball, a hybrid sport combining baseball and basketball, invented by Zucker in the 1980s. Parker and Stone play childhood friends who envision it as something they could win against athletes. It becomes an overnight sensation and a target of corporate sponsorship.

Production

David Zucker, who then had a first-look deal at Universal Pictures, pitched the idea of a low-brow comedy about a game he invented and played in the 1980s. Zucker had previously attempted to adapt the idea into a television series without success. A pilot episode was filmed which starred Chris Rock, but it did not materialize into a series.

When Zucker got the green-light from Universal, he had wanted Chris Farley to play the lead role before casting Trey Parker and Matt Stone due to their work with South Park becoming a huge hit. Parker and Stone agreed to do the movie under the assumption that their show would have been canceled by the time filming began. This did not happen, so they worked on both projects simultaneously.

Principal photography began on January 13, 1998, and ended on March 28, 1998, in Los Angeles, California.
