PCTI Basketball Training: Rainbow

As sad as it may be, and it is sad, basketball might be the only hobby I've enjoyed over the past 6 years.  Given that I only play twice a week, that may help explain why I have so much anger/lash-outs when I play.  Until this year, I've never played organized basketball which i assume wont bode well given the group has been together for quite some time.  

I apologize ahead of time, but unfortunately DAN's name will be brought up in a few of the answers to the questions you asked.

I played pick up ball about 4 times a week at Gonzaga when I was in school; mainly to subdue the hangovers.  Games were 5 on 5, with fundamentally sound players but lacked any real "athleticism", as you could expect being in the Northwest.    

The first year and a half in Dallas, I didnt touch a basketball, due to not being able to find a game.  One faithful day, DAN naturally was able to recognize how miserable I was, and invited me to his 3 on 3  "crew" that meets after work.  We have been meeting about twice a week since then, and have kept a tight-nit, fairly competitive style game of 3 on 3.  

We have about 8 guys that routinely show up all ranging from late 20's to late 30's.  The skill level is all over the place yet each player has his own way of being effective: be it athleticism, vision and awareness, decision making, body control, or pure hard work and tenacity.  Although, it is 3 on 3, so the skills and movement we play against won't translate to full court play. Long story short, DAN is the slowest and most obnoxious of the bunch.  

To this day, no one, including myself, can explain my role as a basketball player.  I could be wrong, but given the meticulous dissecting that takes place amongst the members of PCTI; I'm confident someone will be able to define a role for my game.  Time will tell.  I dont have much to say about my role in PCTI for obvious reasons; but the overall consensus among the people who previously know me and spent time with me (smo & DAN) is: I am hated by almost everyone for unknown reasons.  We will see.  

The greatest thing about the 3 on 3 game is the consistency of the game.  Week in and week out I can count on playing and competing at a high level, and getting more than enough shots up and touches on the ball.  The one thing I dislike is playing against the same people creates routine and lazy habits which wont translate well going up against a dozen other guys I have never seen play.   

Hope this helps.

Editor's Note: This does NOT help... my confidence. You may as well have added, "I also like going to the pop-a-shot at Chuck E. Cheese every Friday to keep my shot strong." It is really going to embarrass me when you outplay me at PCTI.
