"22 for 30" is the seventeenth episode of the twenty-eighth season of the animated television series The Simpsons, and the 613th episode of the series overall. It aired in the United States on Fox on March 12, 2017. In a parody of 30 for 30, Bart goes from delinquent with detention to the star basketball player at Springfield Elementary. Lisa covers Bart's success for the school paper, and Homer becomes the team's coach. Things go awry when Bart gets involved with the mafia.
The story is a documentary about the rise and the fall of Bart Simpson on the basketball team of Springfield Elementary School. It all started with a joke that got him in the longest detention in history, where he started shooting baskets in the detention room paper bin. He was made a starter of the team and started playing, receiving star treatments everywhere.
Bart became famous and fame got to his head and looked down on his team. Homer Simpson became the coach of the team, while Bart got badly spoiled to the point of having a shelter built with TVs. Bart started disrespecting Homer, and when the latter had enough and sent him to the bench, Fat Tony caught on the fact and made a proposal to him at Luigi's.
On the next play, Bart stalled for the last two minutes point shaving winning the game but making sure the team didn't cover the spread, making both the team and the gamblers happy. The story came out on the newspapers, and Lisa Simpson began reporting it.
At the City Champions Final Four, Bart won the game after Homer choked him. However, Bart found out how much money Fat Tony was making, meaning that Fat Tony wanted him to lose the finals. The town hated him for that.
