Double Basketball? Are we back on the double picks?

Snake-draft basketball is pretty crazy. As much as double basketball, which, seemingly, is fitting, because that’s what this is.

Twist and shout tomorrow?

Two in a row!

That line introduced the minifig head top print. I wonder if it's still current, haven't seen that since Power Miners.

Another oddity in this set is the big 1x6x5 brick used for the net's backboard (or whatever you call that) - one side is printed, the other side has the identical pattern as a sticker. I assume enabling double printing for this piece was too expensive at the time.

I also dislike the idea of people assuming the "Sports" theme was introduced in 2000. The 2003 line had quite some differences setting it apart from 2000's "Football". Multiple sub-themes at once, a much more "in-your-face" licensing, different set-types (regular playsets, Bionicle-esque figures and the collector figures) and a rather weird unique style for minifig faces...
Also it seemed to have had a far greater marketing budget including promo CDs and such, almost as if it was intended to replace Drome Racers (which had a similar marketing approach).

I thought this was the same RSOTD, stuck from yesterday. Odds of seeing a set from same theme, let alone same year, must be really, really low. Yet it happened.

Oh after Random Minifig glitched a bit I guess it’s Random Set’s turn to give us the same set twi-
This is a different one!?
