Deuce

PCTI? Been there since the
beginning, a Real OG
What has been your
favorite PCTI? Tough one….Scottsdale, AZ
What has been your
favorite addition (non player) to PCTI? Waking up to some freshly squeezed juice….Thanks Juice Mon
Is there one (or more)
very memorable thing that you think about from a PCTI?
For me, it’s the overall
experience that PCTI provides….Friendship/Brotherhood. I believe that we
all pick up where we all left off last, even if we haven’t been in touch.
We build upon the memories we’ve formed over the years, even if we don’t talk
often. I hope that we all understand that, no matter what the situation
may present, that one could reach out to any one in this group and they’d step
up…..Deep thoughts……
Outside of hoops, what
has been your favorite city? San
Diego with the bottle service
Is there anything you
think could be done to improve PCTI? Insuring that this annual event continues for a lifetime.
Maybe not next, but
what city would you like to go for a future PCTI? Providenciales – Turks & Caicos
Bruiser
When did you join PCTI? Numero Uno
What has been your favorite PCTI? Tough. Lexington (1), San Diego and Cincy are close for me.
Would probably go with SD.
What has been your favorite addition
(non player) to PCTI? Being able to watch the games the
night after we play and make fun of ourselves.
Is there one (or more) very
memorable thing that you think about from a PCTI? When
Abe, BC and I bonded over space/sci fi stuff and watched Event Horizon. The
River Float. The Squeeze.
Outside of hoops, what has been your
favorite city? Scottsdale
Is there anything you think could be
done to improve PCTI? Nothing comes to mind at the
moment.

Gardens.
Joe

PCTI? 2009
What has been your
favorite PCTI? San Diego
What has been your
favorite addition (non player) to PCTI? Deuce
Is there one (or more)
very memorable thing that you think about from a PCTI? Surprisingly no one really farts around each
other. Very classy assholes here.
Outside of hoops, what
has been your favorite city? San
Diego overall. My Mexican dinner in Portland with a crew of 6 was pretty
amazing.
Is there anything you
think could be done to improve PCTI? Best of 5.
Maybe not next, but
what city would you like to go for a future PCTI? Seattle, NY, Chicago, Miami, Nola, MEMPHIS
Ben
When did you join PCTI? OG BRAH
What has been your
favorite PCTI? Cincy bc of the
competitiveness of the series and the best gym we’ve played in IMO.
What has been your
favorite addition (non player) to PCTI? Being able to play back the days previous games instantly to always
have on in the background of hangs
Is there one (or more)
very memorable thing that you think about from a PCTI? the Kittens fiasco, the stats team from Lexington, Minny lake day,
the tribute video in Portland, the morning squeeze were five that just came to
me
Outside of hoops, what
has been your favorite city? Portland
Is there anything you
think could be done to improve PCTI? Hard to improve perfection, but I wish more attention was paid to
the gyms we play in. Feel like we could be consistently better.
Maybe not next, but
what city would you like to go for a future PCTI? I always liked the Charleston idea. Or Toronto.
BC
When did you join PCTI? PCTI I #OGStatus
What has been your favorite PCTI? Cincinnati - the
basketball was super competitive for the first time in a few years. Getting
everyone under one roof was great and we took a big step towards getting our
"final roster" by adding a few new guys. The off court activity was
solid with the float on the river being one of our better outings. Plus, a near
death experience on the highway makes for a good story.
What has been your favorite addition (non player) to PCTI? Assuming you don't mean Deuce...Do the extra days
count? More time together, more time for the body to recover. It's the only way
this thing could have survived as we all get older.
Is there one (or more) very memorable thing that you think about from a
PCTI? The friendships are great but for me the first
thought of PCTI is still the hoops. It's so nice to compete for a few days each
year.
Outside of hoops, what has been your favorite city? I need to do a better job seeing the cities, I'm always so tired. I
thought Dallas/Plano was my favorite - I didn't feel like I was missing out on
anything being too tired to think or function and just wanting to eat or drink
at the first nearest spot. Suburbia is built for that and Plano is a solid
suburb.
Is there anything you think could be done to improve PCTI? I wish there was a way to consistently have
in-game stats. The few times we've had those they've been very useful and make
for good convo.
Maybe not next, but what city would you like to go for a future PCTI? To me the city is secondary to the housing...I think we should look
for the best rental we can find amenity wise and then plan PCTI around that, no
matter where it is. A true mansion with a pool would be awesome.
Sabin
When
did you join PCTI? I’m a
day 1 PCTI member. First PCTI was 1 in Lexington. I think at the time I only
knew Dan, Hops, and JT.
What
has been your favorite PCTI? Favorite PCTI was a tie between II and VII. II because it was the
beginning of my heel turn villainy, plus it was an underrated,
super-competitive series. VII because it was the redemption of my PCTI career
after having been lost in the Huff wilderness for 2 years. Plus, super
competitive series as well.
What
has been your favorite addition (non player) to PCTI? Best addition to PCTI has been the ability to have
videos on demand at YouTube. Allows for easy viewing and reference to previous
events. Keeps it fresh and alive.
Is there one (or more)
very memorable thing that you think about from a PCTI? For me, one of the more
memorable personal moments was receiving a birthday cake from the group in
Cincinnati on my 40th birthday. I felt like I had been re-integrated into the
brotherhood and my character arc had come full circle. It was also very
gratifying to win my first PCTI in San Diego. Sounds silly that it took 8
years, but it was like a deep inhale after being under water for so long
Outside of hoops, what
has been your favorite city? Favorite city was San Diego. What’s not to like? Weather, hot
chicks, best team I played for...
Is there anything you
think could be done to improve PCTI? PCTI would be improved by allowing some guys to
be captain that haven’t had a chance yet. Would be cool to see Biz, Spot, Don,
Bruise, etc... get their chance to build a team and have fun with it
Maybe not next, but
what city would you like to go for a future PCTI? A cool city would be Austin,
TX. Food, facilities, fun.
AHOP
When did you join
PCTI? One of the OG7
What has been your
favorite PCTI? Cincy… the games were
intense and close, added some new key guys, cool city, the float… but having
everyone stay in a house for the first time really took it to another level.
What has been your
favorite addition (non player) to PCTI? Even though it was from the beginning, getting these on video is my
favorite. Not only can we look back and relive some of these great moments, we
also get Deuce at every PCTI.
Is there one (or more)
very memorable thing that you think about from a PCTI? Too many to count but Sabin’s speech in Cincy was
incredible. The OG vid watch sesh before PCTI II getting drunk off wine and
chasing Reuben (RIP). Spotlight falling in love his first PCTI with Angaleeee.
DK’s video he showed in Portland. Cramp game.
Outside of hoops, what
has been your favorite city? Portland
– incredible city, great food, plus all that #nature!
Is there anything you
think could be done to improve PCTI? 2 things… 1) pay for the stat keepers from Lexington to join us
every year. (I know it’s not realistic, but I can dream!) 2) Improve referees –
one idea I’ve had is to reach out to the state’s high school association and
see if there’s anything we could do together for a win win situation. This is a
half-baked idea.
Maybe not next, but
what city would you like to go for a future PCTI? Dickson, TN…. HAHA Still got it! For real,
Vancouver or Toronto
DK
When did you join
PCTI? OG.... Til death do us
part.
What has been your
favorite PCTI? Hoops: Cincy - Fun: SD.
What has been your
favorite addition (non player) to PCTI? Having everyone in the same house.
Is there one (or more)
very memorable thing that you think about from a PCTI? Abe (PCTI1) saying "I can't believe we are
really doing this" will be a tough act to follow... The other most
memorable for me was PCTI surviving Denver due to the circumstances (Sabin and
Donley getting injured a month before, Skillz taking a new job and bailing,
Pitto just bailing, me going through a miserable time and Abe's work on ).
That was PCTI's transition year. I still credit Ben for keeping the group
together during this time, which is why his lack of engagement these days
destroys me daily.
Outside of hoops, what
has been your favorite city? Scottsdale.
Is there anything you
think could be done to improve PCTI? The answer is yes, I just don't know what it is at the moment...
Once I do, I'll make sure it gets done. All that said, a few roster
tweaks would hit the spot, but that's out of my control.
Maybe not next, but
what city would you like to go for a future PCTI? Des Moines, Iowa.
Abe
When did you join PCTI?
PCTIOG
What has been your favorite PCTI? Plano - That was the year
I could see the staying power. The lead up was probably the best of any year
with the introduction of the blog and podcast (RIP) and the engagement was at
it's peak. I was the captain of the team that swept so afterward I was riding
high from that. Joe got a handy. Plano was a nice surprise and it was the first
"out of town" experience for us. Beas and Spot came on board. So many
good things about that year...
What has been your favorite addition (non player) to PCTI? Hands down the bottle service night in SD. A night I will never
forget although a lot of it is pretty fuzzy. Seeing Sabin let loose and show
his "wild" side was worth every penny of the 2 bottles we ordered at
3am and left for the Help
Is there one (or more) very memorable thing that you think about from a
PCTI?
Lex
1 - One of the most
epicly fun nights I've ever had with Ahop, a solid 15 minutes of sleep before
day 2 after 4 games the day prior (oh to be young again), the BLUE, the stat
keepers being super cool, and of course the infamous cramp game
Lex
2 - Beerman's gf not
looking up from her phone a single time over the course of 3 days
Plano - Smoking American Spirits with Spot on a
balcony, Angeleeeeeee, sweeping
Scottsdale - The most beautiful people I've ever seen
in one place, the golf carts, Dan on the links, hot tubbing with the bros, was
this the first year of the Smo van? If so, that
Denver - n/a
Portland - Nature hike, the foreshadowing of Wes
standing alone in that group pic, my introduction into the wonderful world of
food truck villages
Cincy - The myriad of vacant/abandoned buildings
around town, bonding with the Stickman over weed, nature, and his love of outer
space
San
Diego - Zoo day was
splendid, the house was dope af, Deuce grilling up meat and Juice juicing, the
second floor Slay Bungalow, waking up 40 minutes before departure and somehow
miraculously making my flight
Minny - Bottle service amongst an entire club of
rolling 18 year olds, Act working his Hollywood magic to get a large number of
dudes in da club the previous night, watching two fat black chicks grind on him
and then one pulling out her massive titties (probably my second favorite PCTI
memory)
Outside of hoops, what has been your favorite city? San Diego
Is there anything you think could be done to improve PCTI? Add an extra day
Maybe not next, but what city would you like to go for a future PCTI? Miami for a Christmas PCTI
