Trail Lake.
Key Essentials to any game...
1. A Nine and a half foot goal
2. Graffiti Backboard
3. Wristbands, Headbands, high socks, or any other accessory that might make you appear good.
4. A 2-inch vertical.
5. Young Mexican spectators
Now... I never played with all of you, but I did with most and I'd like to remember all of the positive things about your game...
Brian "The Euro" Weiss- Pure shooter, I'm not sure his actual FG% was above 30%, but anything about 15% was in the top 3...
Brent "The Baron" Lubahn- Self professed "Sticky D." His D was pretty good. And there are no easy layups on the break. He will push you in the back. Noble.
Matt "MC9" Chambers- A real slasher. MC really can play. He just didn't care as much as the rest of us. Which is a good thing.
Michael "The Murano" Mazur- 6 fouls
Marc "Magic" Miller - Should have been a banger, but just wasn't his style. He preferred to get high and sub out. Does posses a nice finger roll.
Adam "The Kidnapper" Williams - Our perennial all star. AW can play. Shot blocking had to be his best asset. No negative comments. Weird.
Adam "Flagrant" Faust- Darrel Armstrong-like tenacity. Took pick up basketball intensity to new levels. Very ugly levels.
Had limited to no experience with Lee, Bear, and Brown. But I'd like to hear from you folks who know about them... Didn't Portillo almost beat Williams in a one on one game? Speaking of one on one... can we please hear about the Williams/Lubahn game? If you haven't heard it... it ends in a forfeit.

junior year or senior year? (whenever rickell II was made available) portillo & I got into this basketball kick. once or twice a week we'd play one-on-one after working out. this lasted a couple months or so. I never lost. the guy is better served dribbling with his fucking head. his shot can be described as a mildly deformed nancy reagan shooting with her off hand. his signature moves were the "tony parker floater" & the "duncan bank". he would draw rim on 5% of these shots & backboard on maybe 15% of these shots. He never made one. his basketball nickname is “Polio”. The nickname stems from his hideous posture while holding a basketball. The list of those that best me at bball is long and diverse. Portillo is not on this list.
Addendum. I have sick D, and will be down to play a pick up game when we meet. But mazur and I did play one on one to 15 by ones, for a few months. Each game lasting three to four days. I also was ginobli in my mind the only day we worked the courage up to play two on two against strangers. My speed allowed me to strike a steal and break my hand in the process. Mazur then bought me a burrito.
Hey dickhead, Im the one who took that fucking picture!!!!!!!!! That was the time it was Miller, Lubahn, Weiss, Phil, me, and you (the dickhead). And yes, I played at many Trail Lake occassions! I was also there when we had 15 of our pledge class and we rotated games (Belenger kicked all of our asses, Haverty smelt like booze, etc)
Just another example Faust of how you overlooked our friendship through most of college. Fuckface.
Oh my god... I am a dickhead.
I knew we had played together, but I couldn't place your game. Who's fault is that?
Im a fucking ANIMAL on the court. I block out, rebound, go for steals, and shoot the ball with both hands.
You shoot it left-handed?
No, with both hands at the same time.
