    Meanwhile, former Letran coach Louie Alas, who was Lim’s former coaching rival in the NCAA, believes the multi-titled San Beda coach could bring wonders to Ginebra.

    “May basketball knowledge 'yang si Frankie. He knows his coaching. Dating de-kalibreng point guard sa PBA 'yan eh,” said Alas, who also worked with Lim at Purefoods as members of Eric Altamirano’s coaching staff in 1997 to 1999.

    “I think he can instill discipline and direction in the team. Hindi natin masabi kung ano mangyayari, but he can coach. Apat na straight na championship sa NCAA 'yan kaya sisiguraduhin ko sa yo, magaling mag coach yan," he added.

     

    - sana nga si Frankie Lim na ang right coach for Ginebra...

     

     

     

  2. FORMER SAN BEDA COACH FRANKIE LIM READY FOR NEW CHALLENGES AS HEAD COACH OF GINEBRA

    From Lion King to Gin King.

    That’s how newly-appointed Barangay Ginebra coach Frankie Lim described his ascension to the head coaching position of the most popular team in the PBA.

    “I am honored and humbled to be appointed head coach of the most popular team in the PBA,” Lim wrote in a statement.

    “I am thankful to management for giving me the trust and confidence and my duty is to bring the team to the next level of excellence, ensuring that we set higher goals for ourselves to bring back the fire, tenacity and win championships as we owe it to our dear fans.”

    Lim has won championships both as a player and as coach of the San Beda Red Lions in the NCAA.

    He has also been part of champion PBA teams, serving as an assistant coach to Eric Altamirano for a Purefoods squad that won the All-Filipino title and as a team executive with Mobiline, later known as Talk ‘N Text, enjoying success there as well.

    He will be the head coach of a PBA team for the first time, though.

    “I thank everyone for the support and rest assured I am committed to this role. Surely it is not an easy task, there will be changes, but change is good and I am up for the challenge,” he added.

    Lim said Olsen Racela and Freddie Abuda, his former teammate at Purefoods, and American coach Kirk Collier will help him out in the coaching staff.

    BASURA"
    "Habang nakasakay ako sa taxi... masaya kaming nagkukuwentuhan ng driver... nang may biglang tumawid sa aming dinadaanan... hindi agad nakapreno ang driver... pero iniwasan niya ito para hindi mabangga ang tumawid... at sa di inaasahang pagkakataon... may kasunod pala kami na mabilis ang takbo... at muntik na niya kaming mabangga... Salamat sa Diyos at walang nangyaring masama... pero bumaba ang driver na muntik ng bumangga sa amin at pinagmumura niya ang katabi kong driver... Ang ipinagtaka ko lang... hindi ko kinakitaan ng galit ang katabi kong driver... sa halip nakangiti pa rin ito at panay ang hingi ng paumanhin... at higit sa lahat yung taong tumawid na pinagmulan ng lahat ay tinanong pa ng katabi kong driver kung OK lang ba ito... at sinabihan pa na mag ingat ka sa pagtawid... sa mahinahong salita at may ngiti sa labi... at nagpatuloy ang aming paglalakbay... Tinanong ko ang driver kung bakit hindi siya nagalit at kung bakit hindi niya pinatulan yung taong nagmura sa kanya...
    eto ang sagot niya.....
    " alam mo masyadong maikli ang buhay para lang ilaan natin ito sa lungkot at pighati... dapat magpakasaya tayo... iyon naman ang gusto ng bawat isa sa atin ang maging masaya... ang mga PROBLEMA, LUNGKOT, INGGIT, SAMA NG LOOB, HINANAKIT, at GALIT ay para yang mga BASURA... dala-dala ng bawat isa sa atin ang mga basurang yan... at minsan itinatapon at inilalabas yan ng tao... so kung minura man niya ako kanina, ibig sabihin itinapon lang niya mga basura sa akin... eh bakit ko naman iyon pupulutin... hindi ko naman siya kailangang patulan... ayokong mapuno ako ng basura at mabulok ang pagkatao ko... Dapat kasi pinupuno natin ang ating sarili ng mga magaganda at masasayang bagay... hindi tayo dapat nag-iipon ng basura at lalo na huwag mong dadamputin ang mga basurang itinapon na ng iba.".

     

     

    this is worth sharing man! thanks

  4. Hawak kasi sa leeg ni chua si Ato eh, kaya siya na lang pinabalik ulit, tutal nakakapag mando naman siya kahit nandun si Ato Bopol Agustin!

     

    ayaw man natin mangyari pero dapat yata ma eliminate na naman ang Ginebra this conference at baka sakali magpalit ulit sila ng Coach.

     

    siguro kung si Tim Cone or Yeng Guiao ang maging coach ng Ginebra? mahihirapan sila talunin.

    Barangay Ginebra San Miguel, the most popular ball club in the PBA. They started out as an expansion team in 1979 and after 36 years in the league, managed to win eight (8) PBA titles. The franchise is currently on a 7-year title drought and fans are wondering, how long before they can taste that sweet championship wine once again.

    We now look back at the glory days of the Gin Kings whom, despite their current state, is still the undisputed crowd darlings of the PBA.

    1982 PBA Season (Open Conference Finalist)

    Playing as Gilbey’s Gin under new coach Arturo Valenzona, they made its first Finals appearance during the Open Conference. They were swept by Toyota of coach Ed Ocampo, Robert Jaworski, and Ramon Fernandez. It’s their first taste of a successful PBA campaign after joining the league in 1979.

    1983 PBA Season (All-Filipino Finalist)

    Gilbey’s made two successive All-Filipino Finals appearance in 1983 and 1984, losing both times against the powerful Crispa Redmanizers squad. They were swept in 1983 in the first of three titles won by eventual Grand Slam champions Redmanizers.

    1984 PBA Season (The Big J’s arrival)

    After Toyota disbanded, the Gins acquired its most popular players in Robert Jaworski and Francis Arnaiz. Together they led the team to the All-Filipino Finals that year, losing again to the Crispa Redmanizers, 4- 1, of that Finals series.

    1985 (The Birth of Never Say Die)

    Gilbey’s was renamed as Ginebra San Miguel before the 1985 PBA season. However, the team failed to enter the finals in each of the three conferences, showing only a strong finish (3rd place) in the Reinforced Conference.

    But that season was remembered as the year the Never Say Die was born. In that game on October 22, 1985 against Northern Cement (NCC), Jaworski was hit by an wayward elbow from Jeff Moore late in the second quarter. He had to be brought to the nearby hospital to get stitches on his lips. During the third quarter, NCC was leading when Jaworski returned to the bench.

    The team was behind by 15 points going into the final seven minutes of the game when The Big J re-entered the court and sparked a rally. The NCC team was in shock in the sight of the Living Legend and they didn’t know what hit them after losing to the Gins.

    1986 PBA Season (Champions at last)

    Their first taste of Championship wine. Former Crispa Import Billy Ray Bates and 1985 Open Conference Best Import Michael Hackett powered Ginebra to a 4–1 series win to capture the 1986 PBA Open Conference and give the team its first-ever championship. Francis Arnaiz, Jaworski’s running mate, suddenly left for the United States before Ginebra won its first championship.

    1988 PBA Season (First-ever All-Filipino Title)

    The Gin King’s changed their name to Añejo Rum 65ers and immediately made an impact when they won their first All-Filipino championship and second overall title that year. They are known as the best All-Filipino underdog team ever to grabbed the All-Filipino Title

    They entered the finals via a classic playoff game vs. San Miguel on Joey Loyzaga’s pass to Romulo Mamaril for the game winning basket. Añejo then took on new team Purefoods in the Finals and won the series, 3–1, over a team led by Jerry Codiñera, Alvin Patrimonio, and Jojo Lastimosa. Ramon Fernandez was benched throughout the series due to alleged game fixing.

    Anejo Rum also clinched the 1988 PBA/IBA World Challenge Cup with Bobby Parks as their import by beating international teams and beating Alaska Air Force in the lone final game.

    This is one of the best season’s the Gin Kings had experienced in their colorful PBA history.

    1989 PBA Season (2nd place in Third Conference)

    San Miguel Beer defeated Añejo in five games to complete a rare Grand Slam by winning the Third Conference. Añejo paraded another super import in Carlos Briggs, who easily bagged the Best Import Award.

    1990 PBA Season (2nd place in First Conference)

    Añejo entered the finals of the First Conference against Benjie Paras and the Shell Rimula X team. But the season also marks the infamous walk-out of Añejo in Game Six when they protested a foul on Rey Cuenco with a few minutes left in the second quarter.

    The game was forfeited, with Shell leading the series 3-2. The title was ultimately handed over to Shell. The Gin Kings were fined 500,000 PHP, which was then the highest fine in league history.

    1991 PBA Season (Winning the First Conference; 3rd Overall PBA Title)

    The team reverted back to Ginebra San Miguel and they met Shell once again in the Finals of the First Conference. The outcome is different as they comeback from a 3-1 series deficit to win the title. Rudy Distrito hit an off-balanced shot in the final seconds of Game 7, which is now remembered the most dramatic shot in their storied history and completed the greatest comeback in PBA history.

    The Gin Kings placed second in the Third Conference, losing to Alaska 3-1 in the Finals.

    1996 PBA Season (2nd Place in the Third Conference)

    After 3 years as a doormat team, the team picked amateur standout Marlou Aquino in the 1996 PBA Draft as the 1st overall pick. Suddenly, the future looked bright for the team. The Gin Kings entered the Finals of the Third Conference losing to eventual Grand Slam team Alaska Aces.

    Aquino was voted as the Rookie of the Year at the end of the season and was also selected to the Mythical Five for his great performance.

    1997 PBA Season (2nd Place in the First Conference then 4th Overall PBA Title)

    Ginebra was renamed the Gordon Gins Boars and placed second in the All-Filipino Conference losing to Purefoods, 4-2, in the best of seven Finals series.

    They won the Commissioners Cup for their 4th Overall PBA Title. They exacted revenge over the Alaska Aces as they won the series, 4-2, behind import Chris King and Finals MVP Marlou Aquino. This was also the team’s first title in six years and the last PBA title under Robert Jaworski.

    The Big J resigned the following year to run for the Senate. He also had a run-in with team management which led to his decision.

    2001 PBA Season (2nd Place in the All Filipino Conference)

    Ginebra was re-christened the Barangay Ginebra Kings in 1999, but weren’t able to find success until 2001 when the team drafted an unknown player in Mark Caguiao. He surprised many pundits and led the Gin Kings to a runner-up finish in the All-Filipino losing to sister team San Miguel Beer.

    Caguiao was named the Rookie of the Year at the end of the PBA season.

    2004 -05 PBA Season (Back to back Championships during the transition period)

    In 2004, the league shifted to a 2-conference set-up with a special transitional tournament known as 2004 PBA Fiesta Conference was held to bridge the transition between the 2003 and 2004–05 PBA seasons.

    The Gin Kings won that tournament by defeating Red Bull in the best of 5 Finals, 3-1, and at the same time ended their 7-year title drought. Eric Menk, who was traded to the Gins in 2001, was named the Finals MVP after a strong performance.

    Barangay Ginebra made it back to back as they also won the 2004-05 Philippine Cup over Talk N’ Text, 4-2, of the best of 7 Finals series. Menk was again adjudged the Finals MVP and was also the Most Valuable Player at the end of the season, becoming the first player in franchise history to win the award.

    2006 -07 PBA Season (7th overall PBA Title)

    The Gin Kings won the Philippine Cup, their seventh overall PBA title. They faced the Beermen and fell behind 0–2 in the series similar to their 2001 showdown. But this time the outcome was different. They managed to win the next four games to win the tournament, becoming only the fifth PBA team to win the title after losing the first two games.

    Jayjay Helterbrand, who sank two crucial free throws in Game 6, was named Finals MVP. Before that, Mark Caguioa won the Best Player of the Conference award.

    2007 -08 PBA Season (8th overall PBA Title, Fiesta Conference)

    The Gin Kings last PBA title, to this date. They defeated the Air21 Express, 4-3, to grab their 8th overall title. Ronald Tubid and Eric Menk had spectacular performances and were named as Finals co-MVP. Jong Uichico won his 8th PBA title as a coach and his 2nd with the Kings.

    2008 -09 PBA Season

    Defeated by San Miguel in the Fiesta Conference, 4-3, in the best of seven Finals series. Jayjay Helterbrand was named MVP at the end of the PBA season, becoming the first guard and second player to win the award in franchise history.

    2010-11 PBA Season

    Defeated by Talk N’ Text in the Commissioner’s Cup, 4-2, in the best of seven Finals series. Mark Caguiao was named MVP at the end of the PBA season, becoming the third player to win the award in franchise history.

    2012-13 PBA Season

    Defeated by Alaska Aces in the Commissioner’s Cup, 3-0, in the best of five Finals series. LA Tenorio won the Best Player of the Conference award.

    It’s been the same situation all over again for the Gin Kings. There are two instances wherein they experienced at least a 6-year drought before winning it all, and they are now in their 7th year without a PBA title.

    Can they do it again based on experience in previous title droughts?

    Die-hard fans are hoping and praying it would end this year.

    O.T....I would still say the team is the new NSD phenom sa PBA. Yes they lost by 50 points but thats only one game even the great Ginebra teams of the 80s and 90s got beaten by big margins. Like game 7 kanina. They almost made it again. With SMC up by 23 points, Alaska almost did the trick again by wiping the lead in one quarter. They have developed a great fighting heart that peaked in the championship series. Hoping our team will duplicate that heart this coming conference.

     

    O.T.: Let's see if they will continue that kind of NSD character or attitude this coming conference. Its pretty obvious that they can do this to SMB because the strength of SMB purely relied on their first unit, while alaska has 2nd unit who can give almost same intensity and production as their 1st unit.

     

    para hindi OT: 5 days remaining and its Ginebra time again! B)

    I have nothing serious against Alaska and surely the team deserves all the praises... but winning THREE come-from-behind games is not the same as the numerous games and series that ginebra won.... yun na lang 1991 open conference is very different and more exciting sa series ng alaska w smb....

     

    Mahina yata ang takilya kaya kailangan ng 'controbersyal' na write up hehehe

     

    the idiot author can't simply say that alaska is now a new NSD team in the PBA because of just last 3 games that they won (come from behind victory) during this particular Finals only? take note that alaska has suffered one of the worst beating in the PBA history when they beat by RoS by a 50 points margin... Where is the Never Say Die there? :huh:

  8. lagi na lang bang ganito? "bawi na lang next time" wala pang chemistry or kulang? eh kelan sila magde dwell? pag matatanda na ang mga players nila?

     

    mahirap talaga mag champion ang isang team lalo na kapag ginagawa pa silang experimental lalo na sa coaching staff.

     

    I was thinking what if si Tim Cone or si Yeng Guiao ang maging coach ng GSM? do you think kaya na nilang mag champion?

     

    sa tingin masyado mabait si cariaso as a coach, dapat pag may palpak ang players nila, pinapagalitan or binubulyawan niya on the spot! para tumino at matuto, katulad ng ginagawa ni coach Yeng Guiao at Tim cone. dito ko tuloy bigla naalala si jawo.

     

    anyway wait na lang tayo ulit kung ano ang next move ng GSM management.

  9. kelangan fast start agad sila, katulad ng ginawa nila sa purefoods hotshot! 10-0 agad.

     

    kapag sila ang naunahan ng TnT, delikado na kalagayan nila... sa kangkungan na naman ang punta ng GSM!

     

    huwag lang sila magkanya kanya, huwag mag sisihan, at huwag lang maglarong mayaman dahil madami GSM fans ang manonood bukas.

     

    at sana mataas ang percentage shots nila (may halong suwerte) sabi nga nila...

     

    i utilize mabuti ang kanilang mga guards para hindi pagod agad ang mga starters, yung mga Big Men, Rotation din para lagi may fresh legs sa court.

     

    i maximize yung depth ng bench nila, yung mga malas, ilabas agad, yung mga swerte naman, bigyan lang ng ample rest at ibalik agad para hindi mawala ang momentum.

     

    pag walang transition basket, i take advantage ang height edge nila, setup a low post play kay Greg or pick and roll kay Japeth.

     

    at ang pinaka importante sa lahat na huwag nila pababayaan... Hard Defense!

     

    Good Luck GSM!
