What does the “How about a game of basketball?” meme mean?
The line is a pretend-casual invitation delivered with a confidence that feels anything but natural. The meme plays on the gap between the relaxed tone and the often awkward situation of someone pushing into a group. Use it to tease an invitation thrown out without knowing if it's welcome, to comment on an attempt to join a crowd, or just to suggest a basketball game as a joke. It remains one of the comedian's most quoted lines.
