[edit] Plot

London's father insists she cut back her spending. She enlists Maddie to help her and they discover her shopping addiction is related to her disappointment in her father's frequent absences. When Zack makes the winning shot to send their team to the basketball finals, Max kisses Zack. After Zack insults her by saying she isn't really a girl, Cody and Tapeworm convince him to take Max on a real date. Although he goes on the date reluctantly, he finds himself falling for Max - for both her sense of fun and her beauty. After revealing this was originally a "pity date," Max is furious at Zack - and Zack is unable to score a basket in the team's finals. The two agree to forget the whole incident and remain just good friends. Max passes the ball to Zack who makes the winning shot and gives the team the championship.

[edit] Trivia

We find out Maddie has asthma or another type of allergy that requires an inhaler.
Voted the first new episode to be shown in 2006 in a Disney Channel online poll.
Arwin coaches the basketball team (because he was the only adult they could find). Team members include Zack, Max, and Tapeworm. Cody is also on the team, but other than one play where a basket is scored when Max accidentally bounces it off his head, he has always been on the bench.
After winning the championship, Carey kisses Arwin (much as Max did to Zack earlier in the episode) completely unaware of his crush on her.
The title of the episode is a parody of the cult teen film, "Love and Basketball".
Even as Zack has a crush on Maddie he admits that he likes Max.
We find out that Mr. Tipton's name is Wilfred.
7th appearance of Arwin
4th appearance of Max
4th appearance of Tapeworm
2nd appearance of Patrick

[edit] Goofs

We see London's closet in this episode, and she has a remote controlled clothing device, but in That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana, she has only one mannequin and it isn't on the pole like in Kisses and Basketball.

[edit] Quotes

Arwin: Zack, Cody's hurt! You're back in.
Max: I don't want him back in! I'd rather have Dizzy here!
Arwin (to Max and Zack): I may not know a lot about basketball, but I do know a little something about people... okay, I know nothing about people, but I do know about machines, and when two cogs aren't working, they sound like this: ga-a ga-a ga-a! But when two cogs are working, they sound like this: uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Now you two cogs, go get fixed. Everybody else clear out! You have 30 seconds, 29, 28...
Zack: "Arwin..."
Arwin:Sorry.

Carey (after the team wins the championship): "Congratulations!"
(Carey kisses Arwin)
Arwin: "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh<In A High Pitched Sound>!"
(Arwin faints backwards and lands on his head.)

Arwin: This cake is delicious, Carey, you're a great cook.
Carey: Actually, I bought it.

(Carey gives Arwin a sinister stare.)
Arwin: Cake makes me crazy...

Cody (after they win the game): We did it! We did it!
(Max kisses Zack)

Arwin: Great! Let's tell the coach!
Zack: You are the coach.
Arwin: Right! Why am I here again?
Zack: Because we needed a grown-up and you're the closest thing we could find.

Max: The way you pretended to like me... like me like me made me.
Zack: I wasn't pretending.. well at first I did but than I saw how pretty you looked and how much fun we had and I did like you, like you like you.
Max: Well now I don't like or like you like you.
Zack: You don't?
Max: Well, I did but the like you liking you made me not like you.
