Here’s an interesting little nugget from a Phoenix suns ballboy, who cited Marco Belinelli as the best-smelling player in the NBA. Indeed, the ballboy said, “The whole Spurs team gave off a nice fragrance.”

They didn’t talk too much. But the whole team is so determined, every player knows exactly what to do and when their supposed to do it during warm ups. As opposed to other teams where it could be pretty unorganized. But the Spurs were the only team to tip us the entire season.

The bench guys get most of the tips, but when the Spurs were here early in the season me and (another Suns ballboy) were on the Spurs side for warmups. We were out there for over 2 hours helping them warm up and sweating our ass off, and one of the Spurs trainers/assistants named Chip gave us each $20 after the game and gave us a little advice on rebounding. As much I hate them, Spurs have a lot of class.

Tim Duncan walked up to us and just said “4″ in a really serious tone. He just stared at us while we were trying to get him the balls as fast as we could. Its all part of the experience though, every team is different with their routines and what not. But the Spurs seemed the most engaged.

As much as I despise the Spurs they were really the only team that showed class. Solid organization right there, respect.
