Remember That Time We Played In The BBC Basketball League

It was a normal day at school. The boys had P.E. and they were playing basketball alongside a kid named Tom.

Tom was a tall, fit dude who was obsessed with basketball.

-"Come on man... THAT'S TOO EASY!" He kept yelling out every time he scored.

-"Bro you're not LeBron, shut up." Kewmed kept telling him every time he did that.

-"Come to think of it, why don't we ball more often?" Roufail asked. 

-"Apparently, Kewmed, Tempest and Manos don't really like basketball that much after a certain incident. Don't know what that's about." Leo answered. "Though Manos is over there so feel free to ask him."

Roufail then walked to Manos who was sitting on the sidelines to ask him what happened. 

-"That… Was the day my heart was forever sharted." he explained. 

-"Don't you mean shattered?"

-"That's what I said." Manos had not realized his major grammatical mistake. 

-"Hey guys why don't you also hop in the court?" Tom asked them. 

-"Meh, sure."

-"I'm horrible at sports, I think I'll pass."

Roufail and Leo replied, in that order. 

The former started playing alongside the others while the latter kept standing in the sidelines. 

What everybody hadn't realized, or, didn't care enough about to realize, was that Manos was delivering a 5 hour long monologue explaining why he doesn't like basketball and life or something. Idk I didn't pay attention to him either and I'm literally the author lmfao. 

The boys were balling as normal, while Manos was ranting to the bored Leo about how cool the color Black is or whatever. When suddenly, a mysterious duo appeared and confronted them. 

-"Hey, Tom." one of them said. 

-"Aw shucks." Tom exhaled. 

-"Who are they?" Tempest asked Tom. 

-"They're the Marmeladides Brothers. They play basketball against me sometimes and always lose." Tom explained, before insulting the brothers "Hey losers, if you wanna get sweeped again you can just ask me! I'm always available!"

-"Hey! We don't lose, we just get careless and let victory slip past our fingers. Besides, Tom, we have a proposition for you and your little team here." Both of the brothers said at the same time. 

-"Damn, what crazy synchronization." Leo commented. 

-"What does the proposition entail?" Tom asked. 

-"Face against us in the BBC Basketball League!"

-"The WHAT?!"

-"Huh? You don't know about the Brutal Basketball Championship League?"

-"OPEN WITH THAT NEXT TIME!" All the boys yelled out at the same time. 

-"No way, their synchronization is spreading." Leo commented once again. 

-"Anyways. What even is that horribly named league? The only basketball league I care about as a future Hall of Famer is the NBA." Tom said. 

-"You are NOT LeBron!!!" Kewmed yelled from a distance. 

The brothers then began explaining. 

-"Well it's more or less just a normal basketball game. Only difference is, it's us two versus whatever team of 5 full people we decide to face off." 

Tom almost laughed at the prospect of such an easy game. 

-"Aight bet. What's in it for the winner though?"

-"It is an exceptionally rare item… The very first pair of… Shaq's."

A part of Kewmed's, Tempest's and Manos' souls died at that moment. (even though there wasn't much left of Manos' soul either way). 

-"Well that's kinda underwhelming, but I get a chance to show you who is boss again. I'm in." Tom said. 

And thus the match was set. 

Team 1: 

LE GANG

-Tom

-Tempest 

-Kewmed 

-Manos

-Roufail 

Team 2:

THE MARMELADIDES BROTHERS 

-Brother 1

-Brother 2

Commentators:

-Leo

-Pavlidis

-"Wait, who the hell is this Pavlidis dude?" Tempest asked Leo. 

-"Oh, it's a dude from scouts. Don't pay attention to him, he's just gonna be commentating." Leo answered. 

And this, the match started. 

Le Gang started off dynamically, with Tom dunking three times in a row. 

However, it would seem that the Marmeladides Brothers had an ace up their sleeve. 

-"BROTHERHOOD… FUSION!" They yelled out as they started performing a peculiar dance. 

Once they had finished their dance, huge quantities of smoke appeared out of nowhere around their general area. Once the smoke settled down, a singular tall man was standing where the brothers once stood, while the brothers themselves were nowhere to be seen. 

The man was a 6 foot 9 black man with Waves weighing in at 250 pounds. 

-"No way! They fused!" Leo commentated.

-"Come on! There's NO way this is allowed. Who even is the ref?" Pavlidis yelled out. 

The ref was, in fact, Renie. 

-"Meh, to be fair it was kinda one-sided previously so this should make it more interesting. I'll allow it since I was starting to get bored." Renie said. 

Pavlidis started getting irritated. 

The game continued as normal, but the new man was completely different to the two brothers. Not only did he never talk, but he also performed exceptionally. He consistently scored against Le Gang, while he never let them even get their hands on the ball not even once. Thus, for the next 20 minutes or so, the Fused Marmeladides Man completely dominated the court and managed to score a jaw dropping 100 points. 

Allas, half time had arrived, and LeGang got a chance to recuperate. 

-"Alright, we're getting our asses handed to us. What are we gonna do?" Roufail asked. 

-"Well, we could make Tempest bored so he'll beat up that freak of nature." Kewmed suggested. 

-"Yeah nah. I refuse to become a tool that's only used when we can't solve any given problem." Tempest objected. 

-"Why am I even here?" Manos asked. 

-"Shut up Manos, you know we had no other option. Now, gather around because I have a top secret technique of my own." Tom began explaining his plan. 

EPIC TRANSITION TO THE COMMENTATORS

 -"Well, how are you finding the game so far?" Leo asked Pavlidis. 

-"Are you kidding me?! This is a disgrace to the very concept of athleticism! Why are we even commenting on something like this?!" Pavlidis was furious. 

-"Yeah fair enough, to be fair I only suggested we had commentators because I didn't want to play, and because I wanted to see the look on Manos' face once he was forced to play." Leo explained. 

Soon after that, the game restarted, and LeGang immediately put their plan into action. 

Kewmed and Tempest went out first. They stood still while being near each other. Then, Tom hopped on them, balancing his left leg on Kewmed's right shoulder, and his right leg on Tempest's left shoulder. After that, Manos and Roufail both jumped in the air, making it possible for Tom to grab them and hold them by their legs. Holding each person with one hand. 

-"This is… THE ULTIMATE LEGANG MECH EVA SUPER WEIRD SUIT 3000!" They all shouted out at the same time. 

-"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THIS IS EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS THAN THE FUSION!" Pavlidis commented.

-"Meh, it was starting to get one sided again. This should make it more interesting. I'll allow it." Renie said.

Pavlidis grew even more irritated. 

The second half of the game began, and the Marmeladides reign of terror soon came to an end. 

By some miracle, the ridiculous human mech LeGang came up with was actually very good at balling. (It was effectively a 12 ft. tall player with a similarly large reach after all.) 

It wasn't long before LeGang managed to even out the score, and with 10 seconds left on the timer, it was now or never. 

The LeGang mech had gotten the ball and was quickly charging towards the opposite side, planning on doing an epic dunk to win the game. 

However, the Marmeladides Fusion managed to stop them at their tracks and got the ball back. 

With 5 seconds left on the clock, the fusion practically sprinted towards the LeGang side of the court. At that moment, everything seemed bleak. The ultimate cool awesome epic mech was, ultimately, not ultimate, or cool, or awesome enough to outrun the fusion. It all seemed lost… However, the fusion forgot to account for one factor… The referee's complete and utter incompetence at everything he did. Renie had accidentally tripped and fallen right in front of the Marmeladides Fusion at just the perfect time for him to slip on his banana-like slippery body and get sent flying through the sidelines. And then, a shocking revaluation was made. The Marmeladides Brothers were, in fact, hiding behind the stands which had now been destroyed. 

The fusion was a fraud! 

That was the final straw. Pavlidis was so angry after that, that he yelled out a random combination of insults and swear words for 10 minutes straight, before declaring his hatred for everyone in the court and walking away. 

-"Well, I guess since they broke the only rule that made this 'League' different… Uh, LeGang has won… Or something." Renie proudly declared LeGang's victory. 

-"HELL YEAH! IN YOUR FACE YOU CHEATING SCUM! I BET THAT FRAUD WASN'T EVEN THAT GOOD FOR REAL!" Tom started celebrating. 

-"By the way, how did they convince you to become a part of this mech thing?" Leo asked Manos. 

-"It is futile to resist the urges of the majority in this democratic nation… That is why I believe democracy is a bad system." Manos answered, before entering another 5 hour tangent no one cared about.

And thus, LeGang walked away victorious, the Marmeladides Brothers lied on the ground, ashamed and defeated, and no one ever realized that the fraud was, in fact, the real LeBron James.
