* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Because Riley has no real experience or training, and spends most of the game showboating, he proves to be one of the worst players on the team, much to his shock and embarrassment.

** The entire episode itself may be a spoof of Film/LikeMike, as evidenced by the opening scene depicting Riley in the NBA.

* CripplingOverspecialization: In his first game, Riley shows off his dribbling skills, but that's all he could do. He stood dribbling in place like an idiot for four minutes straight like he had absolutely no idea what to do next while the crowds angrily shout at him to do something other than dribbling. While Riley can dribble, he absolutely sucks at everything else.

* EpicFail: Riley's premeire at the pee-wee basketball game. He was able to dribble circles around the opposing team's players, but then stops and awkwardly dribbles in place for four minutes straight as he had no idea what to do next. When everyone shouts at him to hurry up and do something, Riley finally takes a shot at the basket, only for the ball to completely overshoot the backboard and over the fence causing everyone to laugh at him.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Tom talks to Riley about how his college team won a basketball game by working together, but Riley soon remembers a highlight of how Tom accidentally got an opposing player's crotch on his face while blocking and mocks him for it. Riley may have missed the point about winning through teamwork, but he may not be wrong that a victory is worth celebrating if the biggest moment featured in the game is something so embarrassing.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The episode not only parodies but also deconstructs [[UnderdogsNeverLose the whole concept]] of ''Film/TheMightyDucks''. What happens when you have a sports team that has little to no athletic talent? They end up losing every game they've played in an embarrassing (yet hilarious) fashion, and the "miracle moment" is given to a team that is more polished athletically.
