It's the 15-Year Anniversary of One of the Best Basketball Games Ever Played: TRAINA THOUGHTS

1. This Sunday, April 19, marks the 15-year anniversary of The Office's hugely popular "Basketball" episode.

The fifth episode of Season 1, which featured The Office vs. The Warehouse, gave us a little of everything: Michael being the complete buffoon that he is, Pam on the sidelines secretly rooting for Jim to destroy Roy, Dwight being Dwight, Kevin draining 3-pointer after 3-pointer after not being allowed to play in the game and Stanley being a terrible basketball player.

Steve Carell talked to me about the episode on a 2019 edition of the SI Media Podcast and revealed how the shots of Brian Baumgartner sinking all those shots came together.
