The show is filmed on location in LA — but the outside of the stadium was actually shot in Glasgow in Scotland!

Is Running Point based on Jeanie Buss?

Yes, Running Point is inspired by Jeanie Buss, executive producer of the show and real-life owner and President of the LA Lakers.

“Jeanie is such an iconic figure, a legend in basketball, and her journey as a woman leading a major sports franchise was both inspiring and ripe for storytelling,” Mindy Kaling said in an interview with Netflix. “We feel so lucky that she’s an executive producer on this show, so she could watch every cut and tell us if anything felt false.”

But Jeanie said she loved working on the show as much as the team loved working with her. “There’s so many things that have happened that it’s hard to understand when you’re on the outside,” she told Netflix, saying it helped to be a voice in the process of bringing the show to life. "Trying to explain the mechanics of how the league works, how the egos are involved, and agents, and all the things that can trip you up.”
