This article lists the interactions between Basketball and Snowball.
Episodes suggesting a friendship[]
In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", Basketball saves Snowball from getting crushed by the elevator. When Snowball fixes the elevator, Basketball is overjoyed that he was actually able to fix something, to which Snowball replies with a nonchalant "Of course."
In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", when Basketball compliments Snowball, Grassy, and Bell during the challenge, Snowball proudly responds "Of course!", later in the episode after they've lost the challenge, Basketball says they all could've done better, to which Snowball tells her to speak for herself. Basketball thinks he's boasting about himself, but Snowball instead points out that Grassy did a good job in the challenge, which Basketball says is true.
In "Getting Puffball To Think About Rollercoasters", Snowball suggested to his team that they should build a contraption for Two to test their strength. They built a tower for Two to knock over, but Basketball thinks it is not ready. Snowball thought she hated that idea and hits Bell. Basketball tried to tell him otherwise but came up with another idea to improve on the current design on the attraction. After getting string from Robot Flower, Basketball glues up more blocks and hangs one remaining block on a string, turning the contraption into a punching game, which Basketball calls it a "real test of strength", which Snowball immediately takes a liking to.
In "Gardening Zero", Snowball confidently asks Basketball what he thinks of his strategy, which involved burning Grassy to keep their plant warm.
In "Fishes and Dishes", Basketball asks Snowball how the team has been doing. Snowball says that he crashed Robotic Fish Monster twice, then he went and drove it onto land for a bit and went into a drive-thru where he ordered some fries. Basketball asks how they taste, and Snowball says they aren't great since they were made for a fish. He then says that Grassy spoke to some fish and Bell tried and failed to drive the robot, as she has no arms. After the robot is set to self destruct, Basketball tells Snowball to try opening the hatch. Snowball tries but the door won't budge, and he says that the machines must've sealed it shut.
In "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", Basketball tells Snowball to put on Golf Ball's bracelet to get to Yoyleland. While there, he must eat a Yoyleberry to dodge Four's Zappies. Snowball listens, becoming Yoyle metal. Basketball and the rest of her team hide behind Snowball, using him as a shield from Four's zaps.
Neutral interactions[]
In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", during the challenge, Bell can't get back down due to Two not letting her, which makes Snowball think she, along with Grassy and Robot Flower betrayed them, but Basketball reassures him Robot Flower wouldn't betray them, until she remembers what happened in the first contest for BFB.
In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", during the contest, Snowball informs Basketball that Eggy went off to do something (recover Teardrop) without telling the rest of the team.
In "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", Basketball corrects Snowball, saying that Robot Flower's metal isn't strong enough to dodge the lasers blocking the kitchen door.
Episodes suggesting a conflict[]
In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Snowball says there is no way he's going to be on 8-Ball's team cause all of the other balls are weak and armless.
In the intro for TPOT, Snowball and Basketball are glaring at each other.
In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", Snowball joins Basketball's team, which makes her grimace. She also doesn't seem to care for team name he picked out. When The Strongest Team on Earth. notices The S!'s strategy of throwing their members to the roof, they decide to do the same. Snowball volunteers to throw, as he has arms, but Basketball interrupts him with an unamused "uh-huh".
Later in the challenge, both of them head to the elevator. Snowball pries the elevator doors open, rendering the elevator nonfunctional, which makes Basketball mad at Snowball, telling him he should have just waited for the elevator to come back. Snowball argues that would have been too slow and Basketball points out that thanks to him, it'll be even slower now that it's broken. She shoves Snowball aside to fix the elevator and Snowball waits on a couch. When Snowball asks what's taking her so long, she tells him to relax, as she's trying to figure out which pulley to use. After Snowball pulls a random pulley to the elevator, she yells at him. When the elevator comes flying down the shaft, Basketball pushes Snowball out of it so that he doesn't get crushed.
In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", when Two names the teams after Teardrop joins, Snowball and Basketball are shown arguing with each other.
In "Getting Puffball To Think About Rollercoasters", Snowball loves Basketball's improvement to their attraction so much that says he wants to hit something. He notices Grassy and punches him into the distance. Basketball gets angry at Snowball for punching their teammate and tells him to punch their attraction next time.
In "Gardening Zero", while Basketball admits Snowball's strategy is working, she is not comfortable with Snowball setting Grassy on fire to keep the funny flower warm.
In "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", Basketball's smile quickly turns into an annoyed frown as Snowball said that "They're not wimps".
In "The Seven Wonders of Goiky", as Robot Flower beats up the hotel guests, Snowball asks what's going on, and Basketball shouts at him, as she's been trying to get her team to care about Robot Flower.
