  1. Ramon S. Fernandez

     

    is generally regarded as the greatest basketball player (and certainly the best and most revolutionary player at the center position) produced by the Philippine Basketball Association.[1] Fernandez won four Most Valuable Player awards and a record 19 PBA championships (the equivalent of 6 championships in the NBA as the PBA runs three championships a year). If overall playing skills, career statistical achievements and championship wins are the benchmarks of greatness, he has no equal. Fernandez scored 18,996 points to finish as the PBA's all-time scoring leader. He is also the PBA's all-time leader in rebounds, blocked shots, and second all-time in assists and steals. He played for five teams in his entire the PBA career starting with Toyota, Manila Beer, Tanduay, Purefoods, and with San Miguel, his last stop. Fernandez played in many overseas tournaments by being a part of the Philippine basketball team.

  2. Peter "Pistol Pete" Press Maravich

     

    (June 22, 1947 – January 5, 1988) was an American professional basketball player. Born and raised in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, Maravich starred in college at Louisiana State University (LSU) and played for three NBA teams until injuries forced his retirement in 1980. He is still the all-time leading NCAA Division I scorer with 3,667 points scored and an average of 44.2 points per game. (All of his accomplishments were achieved before the three-point line was introduced to NCAA basketball, and despite being unable to play varsity as a freshman under then-NCAA rules.[1]) Maravich died suddenly at age 40 during a pick-up game as a consequence of a previously undetected congenital heart defect. One of the youngest players ever inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Maravich was cited by the Hall as "perhaps the greatest creative offensive talent in history".[2] In an April 2010 interview, Hall of Fame player John Havlicek said "the best ball-handler of all time was (Pete) Maravich."

  3. Come away with me

    Norah Jones

     

    Come away with me in the night

    Come away with me

    And I will write you a song

     

    Come away with me on a bus

    Come away where they can't tempt us

    With their lies

     

    And I want to walk with you

    On a cloudy day

    In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high

    So won't you try to come?

     

    Come away with me and we'll kiss

    On a mountaintop

    Come away with me

    And I'll never stop loving you

     

    And I want to wake up with the rain

    Falling on a tin roof

    While I'm safe there in your arms

    So all I ask is for you

    To come away with me in the night

    Come away with me
