Winter 08 – The Black Donnellys (A Draft)

Like any Hall of Famer, Hot Sizzle is a man of many nicknames, identities and strengths. He’s got as much attitude on the court as off of it. I don’t know if there’s ever been another CAC Basketball player who’s been ahead of the curve so often as ‘Mixtape’ Mike Turin. Back in the internet’s (and CAC Basketball’s) infancy, if you were anonymously talking trash you were some sort of crazy rebel. That was Turin, pissing people off before everyone had to log on to a website through facebook so you could see their first and last name.

He’s the man who created the 1 on 1 game as a way to settle beef and everyone else was quick to follow suit. He was best at promoting himself, and no one else, not even Tommy ‘RoY’ Kahana comes close. He’d take young, overwhelmed stat-keepers to stripclubs just to make sure he got good press. These days he’s adding 6’8″ monsters to the 5v5 Draft League, just like he was doing to the B1 league back in 2005. The more things change, the more they stay the same. ~Tibbs
