’The Office’ S1 E5 Basketball (Superfan)

Belated Binge: ‘Breaking Bad’ ‘Harry Potter’ ‘Sons of Anarchy’

The Office turns competitive when Michael (on behalf of the sales team) challenges the workers in the warehouse to a game of Basketball to determine who will have to work on Saturday. Michael and Dwight are as bad at hoops as you might expect. Stanley is much worse than Michael expects. Jim is actually pretty good. Somehow (plot) the sales team is winning when Michael takes an inadvertent elbow and calls the game off, but he's intimidated by the warehouse workers and decides nobody is working Saturday. Quick hitters: Pam is weird this whole episode. Kevin is a really good shooter. As a basketball fan, it's really hard to watch tv show basketball that's supposed to be played badly.
