The Carey Effect

When an above average player is teammates with average players, and suddenly they all start playing a lot better then they usually do

Friend 1: Usually I’m pretty ass at this game but since my teammate was really good, I played really good
Friend 2: Must be The Carey Effect

Practice Warrior

Someone who does amazing in practice, but disappears when it’s actually game time.

“Damm, he has 30 points on us and this is just a scrimmage”

“Relax, he’s just a practice warrior, when we actually play a game he won’t hit a single shot”
