With the help from Basketball, Oscar makes an impressive shot that scores him a spot on the Gold League.
Tropes:
- Bittersweet Ending: After Oscar's deception is revealed, Basketball leaves the camp and the Gold Team is able to win the game. But Hedgehog is really hurt that her best friend lied to her for so long and demands time away from him to cool down after using her anger at him to win the game.
- Deadly Euphemism: Basketball claims that Pajamas has "gone away on business" and Oscar imagines the worst...except it turns out he was telling the truth.
- Green-Eyed Monster: Oscar had accidentally told an animated basketball that he would make it his best friend if he scored in a basketball game, which the ball did by making him into a basketball star with improbable skills. But then the ball took things too seriously and quickly became extremely jealous of Oscar having Hedgehog as his other best friend.
- Shout-Out: The title puns on the book and film The Basketball Diaries.
