Remember Rick “The Model” Martell from the WWF?

Yes, he was a wrestling model whose big gimmick was that he came to the ring with an old-fashioned bug sprayer full of “Arrogance,” his perfume. He’d spray the ring with it, he’d spray the fans with it, and of course- hold on to your hats, you won’t believe this! – he would spray it right in his opponent’s face to get the win.

So there I was in Men’s Wearhouse last week and what did I see?

The Model? Nowhere to be found.

Today’s lesson is how to perform an NBA-grade pick and roll, even if you are not an NBA-grade athlete. All it takes is a keen eye and judgement. Once you know how to pick your spot, you can do it with ease.

The seats behind the announcers are usually prime real estate at every sporting event, and the NBA is no exception. In fact, unlike baseball, football, or hockey, the announcers are not in booths but sitting at a table court side with the fans right behind them. If you get seats right behind the announcers you are guaranteed to get on TV when the director cuts to the announce table.

Use that power wisely. Observe this man proudly performing his own version of the pick and roll.

The best part? That guy clearly knew that he was on tv. Oddly, he was proud of it and shared a manly wink with the audience at home. Click on this picture to watch Yahoo’s non-stop winking gif!
