On December 25, 2014, in the SpongeBob Fan Wiki Chat, Doctor Bugs was talking about sports, and he found that 3 users on the chat all played basketball: SBCA, Ghastlyop, and himself. After that, they joked about a SpongeBob spinoff involving basketball. Ghastly even jokingly named it "Basket Sponge". Doctor Bugs had previously though of the exact same name. Soon they realized they had a good idea on their hands. Doctor Bugs created a page for Basket Sponge, and production began instantly. The first episode aired on January 1, New Year's Day 2015. Since then, the spin-off gained huge popularity. Praised by critics and readers alike. A second season was already announced and will have 18 or more episodes.

Reviews
"As a creator and owner of this series, I couldn't be prouder of it. The collaboration of myself with SBCA and Ghastlyop has created a masterpiece in my eyes, the wiki will be sure to enjoy. Loaded with both mature and immature jokes, this series is both made to make you laugh and draw suspense! I hope everyone enjoys this series! We've put hard work into it!" - Doctor Bugs

"Being a writer is tiring, especially on Basket Sponge. Coming out of a time when I stopped writing for the wiki after the disappointment of my last written show and a feature film. The show really brought me back my pre disappointment stage. I have enjoyed writing for/with my good friend SBCA and friend/mentor Doctor Bugs. I hope you enjoy the series like I have enjoyed writing for it! - Ghastly

An awesome series! Not only that, but it's one of the best spin-offs I've ever read on SBFW. The Radio Guy 15:57, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

Luis, when you told me to read this at school, I immediately checked it out. When I read it, I got hooked! Dang this is funny! Thanks for giving me something to do to pass time. I have been reading some spin-offs before but this, by far, is one of the best I've ever read! My rating: 4.8/5 -Jon Satos

I'm re-reviewing this for actual review purposes but I am going to go down the list of each episode done (so far since 12.01.15)
 * 1. A Legend Begins - Fantastic pilot episode and reminds me a lot of Space Jam.
 * 2. Practise Makes Perfect - The second best episode in the season, as the pilot was a little clunky and without jokes.
 * 3. The Shoes Of Jordan - It is like the pilot episode, except again it is like Practise in where there is jokes.
 * 4. Prisoners Of The Match - The second worst in the season, as it drags the whole thing down to a screeching halt, maybe 1 more re-rewrite could have been done? This was my first episode.
 * 5. The Beginning Of A New Era - The worst in the season, Luis is put as a main character when he does not need to be one.
 * 6/7. The New Member & Betrayal - As the first and maybe the last two parter before the season finale, it works! The first part is good, but the second part exceeds! (EVEN THOUGH I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL ONE IN THE MORNING!) Bugs gets me as a villain. He has given me the best lines.
 * 8. Leaked Footage Reel - The same with the last two episodes, this episode works. The story has been bashed hundreds of times, but this seems side splitting fresh.

I'll update it once more episodes are out! --All will be revealed... 2015. (talk) 09:07, January 12, 2015 (UTC)

This spinoff is one of the best on the wiki. Not kidding. Itss got some of the best jokes ever, so edgy and I love that about it. The story is really good too, it is something my intellect could never think of. Luis is one of my all time favorite characters of ANY show. "Part of the Team" made my day that he would be in more episodes. Overall a REALLY good spin off, of the best on the wiki. 10/10.The bagel to defeat all bagels

Trivia

 * The series references Space Jam in many ways; LeBron even mentions Space Jam in the pilot, A Legend Begins.
 * Larry appears to be the only skilled player on the team, however LeBron favors SpongeBob the most, due to his heart.
 * A running gag in the series is Patrick confusing "coach" with "couch". He frequently sits on Coach LeBron, claiming "This is the worst couch I've ever sat on!"
 * Patrick seems to be highly confused and ignorant of his surroundings in the series, not even realizing he's on a basketball team.
 * LeBron accidentally killed the original coach of the Bikini Bottom Bulldogs, thus having to take his place for the next season.
 * A characted named POBA President was part of the initial draft for The Beginning of a New Era. His role is self explanatory due to his name.
 * There is a Filipino version which airs episodes with local dialect dubs.
