How about Magic Johnson why is he not on the list nor Yoyong Martirez.
Is Samboy playing now? His career has been injury-laden
and the times he was playing he wasnt all that effective anymore.
If he's in the list I want Allan Caidic and Ricky Brown to be in
there too. :)
His real name is Alexander Potot. The correct pronunciation is PO-TOT, with
the accent on the first syllable. Problem was "Speak" Salita, the game
barker of old, would mispronounce his name. So he would go "Foul PUTOT!",
with the accent on the second.
How about Luke Dacula of Mariwasa? The crowd would always hound him
shouting "Aawoo!" whenever he is announced or introduced. Got sick of it,
so he legally changed his surname.
His legal name now is ... wait for it ... Luke Dator!
...and Potot (from 7-UP)!!! How come he wasn't mentioned???!!!

G'day Kuya,
Charlie Badion did not play in the PBA. He was a national team stalwart in
the fifties and sixties. I heard he was a good defensive player. He was the
coach of the Mapua Cardinals during my school days.
Hope this helps,

--------
Carlos Badion was a dominating player in the late 50's and 60's. He played
with Mapua during his NCAA years before playing "professional" with several
MICA teams, I belive one of them was with YCO. He was muscularly built and
yes, a good defensive player and a dominating forward as well. His style of
play was like Charles Barkley with the strength of Dennis Rodman. "Mahusay
si Badion sa baldahan. Babag and katawan."

Hi Mon... So, you're also reading stuffs here...
I think the list doesn't really reflect the Philippines'
greatest basketball players since Samboy was included in
the top 10. He might be in top 20 but not in top 10.
Samboy is an execellent and exciting player but greatness
is still far from being his since his basketball career
is injury-plagued... you know whatta mean.
Here's my choice:
1. Carlos Loyzaga
2. Robert Jaworski
3. Ramon Fernandez
4. Ed Ocampo
5. Bogs Adornado
6. Lauro Mumar
7. Carlos Badion
8. Abet Guidaben
9. Danny Florencio
10. Alvin Patrimonio

Why is it that Bong "Boy Libog" Garcia nor Sal "Salsalan Tayo" Uy not
mentioned.
He is actually a former tindero ng balot. He was playing for Mang
Kaeng's Fishball team
Seeing as how Jaworski made the list, I'd like to include an
article I read on soc.culture.filipino several years ago. I've saved the
article. Every time I meet an Anejo/Ginebra fan, I show them this
posting.
He should be included in that list but he is not THE greatest. I
remember when the Washington Bullets played the Philippine team
in the early 70's. The Bullets were the NBA champs then, and Jaworski
and Wes Unseld almost went to blows because Jawo was trying to undercut
(pitik) Unseld. It was wise for the Bullets to restrain Unseld, imagine
an all-out brawl that will include the spectators, whew... gulpe sigurado.
Anyway, when the Bullets were interviewed in WAshington DC, 2 players,
Wes Unseld, and Elvin Hayes said that Jaworski is not a basketball
player but a thug in uniform. They also said that he did not have sound
basketball skills. True or false?
I forgot who was the poster, and if you're out there, I apologize
for not giving you credit.

**********
Jawo just provides instant leadership in the court. He is intimidating to
the opposing team. It is so hard to compare him to an NBA guard. The
closest I can think of is Barkley(power forward) who is a court leader
and a physical player.
Payton, Drexler, and KJ are more finesse players.

My views are mine alone,
the corporation I work for
has nothing to do about it!
I'd rather compare Jaworski to Bill Laimbeer.

Wala ka namang delikadesa, pati matanda pinapatulan mo.
Mag-ingat ka lamang. Kapag na huli ka namin,

Sana ay makakatulog ka ng mahimbing dahil sa mga kalukohang
ginagawa mo sa SCF.
Here's my list :
1. Ramon Fernandez
2. Alvin Patrimonio
3. Bogs Adornado

I think MICAA either stands for 'Manila Industrial and Commercial
Athletic Association' or 'Manila Inter Commercial Athletic
Association'.

FYI, a certain Dumlao scored 100 pts in a game before. I believe he is the
owner of Dumlao complex along Shaw blvd.
