What if I told you, the regional manager who taught us basketball is like jazz was getting his very own documentary?

OK, so, truth be told... there isn't a real documentary coming about Michael Scott's on-court exploits. But someone at ESPN must be a fan of The Office and had a little extra time on their hands. You know because there are no sports happening right now.

The official 30 for 30 account — and I double-checked it was official— tweeted out a parody trailer imagining a doc about Michael's infamously terrible performance in the Season 1 episode titled "Basketball."

"What if I told you, the greatest Michael wasn't Jordan?" the post asked.

It's a perfectly executed video, full of little bits of Office humor while the narrator deadpans the lines with heart-wrenching sincerity. The joke caught the eye of Michael Scott himself — well, actor Steve Carell at least. He quote-tweeted the post with a bit of definitely real slang.

If you love The Office and basketball — personally, I am the exact center of that Venn Diagram — the post was a great bit of light-hearted fun for a pandemic Sunday.
