Storyline

- TriviaAccording to the DVD commentary, the scene in which Jim is hit in the face by Roy was an accident and real. David Denman (Roy) backed into John Krasinski (Jim), and hit him in the face, resulting in John bleeding. The cameras kept rolling and they kept the shot in the show. But, as a result of the injury, a photo shoot scheduled for the next day had to be canceled because John's lip was so swollen.
- GoofsSeveral pieces of equipment are visible during the basketball game for brief moments, including cameras and boom microphones. However the fictional office is being filmed by a fictional documentary camera crew, so there are frequently cameras and mikes visible.
- Quotes
[Michael attempts to assemble a basketball team and Oscar, of Mexican descent, approaches]

Hilarious
Just a great episode. Probably the best one of the season (although it's close with diversity day) and one of the best episodes of the show. So many laughs throughout the episode: "okay we'll be skins", "you gotta be kidding me!?". The characters start coming into form more in this episode and you get acquainted with the warehouse.
