ATTN: DOCTOR!!

I've never seen someone more blatantly rip off someone's comedy like this guy has with Joe since Dane Cook. JT needs to teach this guy a lesson. GET HIM OFF YOUR BLOCK, JOE!!

Recent Beas and Sabin Hoop Sessions

The last couple weeks have been eventful in Dallas, a Saturday morning session with Sabin two weeks ago then a guest appearance from the Nature Boy to round it out.  Some quick news and notes from each session...

Players: Rainbow, Smooth, Sabin, DTB.

Overall Analysis: A classic Sabin run Saturday session where the typical draft turned into him putting the four members of PCTI on the same squad, with significant success.  All members looked in mid season form.

Rain Analysis: Active, full of energy, and making plays, the Rainbow was all over the court causing organized chaos.  Stretched the floor nicely with some deep 3's and transition layups.

Sabin Analysis: High T Sabin in full effect, if he wasn't shooting 90% and in someone's grill defensively, he had his world famous snarl on and arguing with someone.  Did what he always does, just more fluid, explosive and quick than the Sabin of PCTI VII.  Just don't make the mistake of throwing him a pass that isn't perfectly in the shooting pocket.

Smooth Analysis: If this Smooth shows up to PCTI, Team Wilson got a steal.  Constantly moving without the ball and sneaking around the 3-point line, Smooth converted 80% of his 3's, and attacked the basket when the defense closed out long.  He competed on D and boxed out hard.

Players: Nature Boy, Rainbow, Smooth, DTB.

Overall Analysis: Two good sessions with the Beas in town,  and was a good opportunity for two teammates (Beas and Smooth) to get acclimated.

Beas Analysis: Looks beyond mid-season form.  Handle and shot was not only superior, but borderline perfect.  Fluid movements and defense were in full effect.  Some highlights from one of the games below.

On Court Style Rankings

Sadly, one of the most important aspects of all sports (and life really) is looking the part... In list format, below are the top and bottom three as it relates to on-court style, with the metrics being...

• Shoes/Sock Combo.
• Color Coordination.
• Accessories.

Top 3:

1.  Ben Wilson:

• Shoes/Sock Combo: A.
• Color Coordination: A.
• Accessories: A.

Commentary: Not only one of PCTI's top players, Wilson looks the part on the court, with his heavy use of accessories, innovation, color, and always the latest and greatest.  Does a good job with a great short, and a good combo of shoes/socks.  Will occasionally throw in some team gear to keep everyone on their toes.

2.  Scotty D:

• Shoes/Sock Combo: B+.
• Color Coordination: A.
• Accessories: B.

Commentary: Not as flashy as Wilson, Donley combines his athletic look with PCTI's best tuck, a great looking sock, and a perfect length tight.  Simple yet classy.

3.   The Actor:

• Shoes/Sock Combo: B.
• Color Coordination: C.
• Accessories: C.

Commentary: You can get points for effort!  Barely edging out the Big Man, Act comes in with his creative approach to gearing up... Act spends significant time scouring the internet looking for old school, creative shorts, headband, and sock options, and always gets a comment from the fans. The whole ensemble doesn't blow you away, but as it relates to getting attention, the Act accomplishes his goal.

Bottom 3:

3.  Michael Business:

• Shoes/Sock Combo: C.
• Color Coordination: F.
• Accessories: F.

Commentary: For as much love as he gets for his looks, he doesn't earn it with any effort... He almost goes out of his way to find a plain, ugly short that clashes with his outfit, and typically runs shoes for five years at a time.  This guy's style is WEAK.

2. Sabin:

• Shoes/Sock Combo: D.
• Color Coordination: F.
• Accessories: F.

Commentary: It's no secret I love Sabin like family, but this dude is as clueless as he is disinterested about looking the part... Maybe his all business approach makes him only care about results, but I'm confident even if he tried, he couldn't come up with anything to improve his on-court appearance.  

1. Rain:

• Shoes/Sock Combo: F.
• Color Coordination: Incomplete.
• Accessories: F.

Commentary: What separates the Rainmaker from the rest is the effort he makes to ensure he's clashing as much as possible.  Unlike the two above him that just don't care, The Rain is very strategic when planning his outfits to make sure there's as much color on his body as there is in his name (and personality for that matter).  His ability to combine a jersey with a stripe on the side along with neon shorts with a non matching stripe down the side is that of legend. His shoes are so bright it makes your eyes hurt and his small quads and monster calves make the whole look come together perfectly.  The only bright side to Rain's ranking is once Smooth comes on he's a shoe in for this slot.
