Ang tatay nakulong, ang tito may kaso naka pending, nambugbog din ng asawa, si Gayweather, dati na palang may mga kaso...........................Si Pacquiao, isa lang.....kulang bayad sa custom duties sa kanyang luxury car pero naayos na.

sayang!

---------------------------

Sayang rin pero lately Sunday has lost his shooting touch. His percentage really went down since a couple of years back pa. Medyo na rin siguro tumatanda. What we need is fresh blood. Fresh blood that always see BLOOD when they play!

Even the usually cool Gabe Norwood, can lose it!

hahaha, sino yung gumugulong sa likod? hahaha. Ang layo ng narating ng puwitan!

The on going draft picks.............sino sino ba ang mga ito? Sorry hindi ko sila kilala

7th overall gins pick John Wilson

8th overall jumbo Aquino also bgk

12th. ginebra picks Robert labagala

Dito sa MUNTINLUPA, na gago na ang mayor namin. wala nang serbisyo. sa trapik, wala nang pakialam. Daming walang helmet, walang plaka ang mga motorsiklo pati mga tricycle nasa main road. nagbababa sa malalaking signages na No Loading, Unloading. Mga enforcers paypay ng paypay! Mga umaakyat sa mga bus namimilit na magbigay sa kanila ng kotong (mga bataan ng demonyong tatay ni Aldrin, si Tomas). Ang galing galing na vice mayor, naging GAGO!

na he helo na ako sa mga trades . mamaril is back! Now we have a legitimate center. Sino pa ang papasok sa Gins?

Sonny J and Al Chua would definitely be a combustible coaching combo. This would add excitement to Ginebra games.

=============================================================

Tinding coaching combination................isang kalbo, isang long hair! Parang before and after na commercial ng Svenson at New Man! Pero seriously, mas gusto ko ang combination ng Jawo at Jarencio...........parang Double J sa PBA!

O.T.

Kaya pala ang galing galing ni Coach (Jawo).........apat ang kamay! (No. 7 during Meralco days)

Foreman praises Pacquiao

By NICK GIONGCOAugust 18, 2010, 6:16pmGeorge Foreman had a mouthful of good things to say about Manny Pacquiao who the former world heavyweight champion said doesn’t need Floyd Mayweather to enhance his already glowing reputation.

“This Pacquiao is the star of the day,” Foreman told the On The Ropes Boxing Radio Show, an on-line radio show for fight fans. “Pacquiao is the best fighter out there.”

Foreman, whose first reign was during the 1970s, regarded as the Golden Age of the heavyweights, also expressed his admiration over Mayweather “but the cream of the crop is that Pacquiao.”

“I just love him. He works out, he trains and he doesn’t say a whole lot, so after his fighting career is over he’ll be known for what he accomplished and not what he said,” said Foreman, now 61.

Pressed for an answer about efforts to stage a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight, Foreman didn’t sound all too excited.

“Well, it’s one of those fights that I hope never happens because Pacquiao doesn’t need Mayweather in his life. I think Pacquiao had a nice name. Mayweather started to slander him, say things like he was taking drugs,” said Foreman, who became the oldest to regain the world crown when in 1994 he knocked out Michael Moorer.

Foreman even has an advice for Pacquiao.

“When you start running into people like that, it’s best that you stay away from them. It’s not even necessary to even have him in your life.”

And what if the fight happens?

“But if the fight does take place, I think Pacquiao wins because he’s got momentum, he has a real trainer, and he’s willing to take the fight. He’d probably beat Mayweather, probably. Not to say Mayweather isn’t a wonderful fighter. He is the best fighter I’ve ever seen in my life, but he can’t beat Pacquiao because there is something else going on in that fight business. Not the Xs and Os, but there’s something else,” concluded Foreman, who had a 76-5 win-loss card with 68 knockouts.

Pacquiao is scheduled to face Antonio Margarito of Mexico on Nov. 13 possibly in Dallas. A formal announcement will be made by promoter Bob Arum and Texas billionaire Jerry Jones soon.

shuffling of coaches (siot, ato and gee) proved to be a disaster to SMB. i mean, different coaches = different styles. how do you expect your players to adjust?

This is another annoying and palpak strategy of Mr. Non. This person is not fit to be the team manager of ANY TEAM sa PBA. Sobrang pakialamero. Nagulat nga kami, in the middle of championship round, magpalit ng coach! Stupid move, I may say.,

Oo nga. Mas all around naman si Jonas. The problem is napag initan na siya ni Mr. Non kaya wala na! Palagay ko i t trade na si Jonas for another theme. Rinig ko sa Ginebra. Napalayo ang loob ko sa San Miguel dahil sa sobrang bossy at mapanghiyang si Mr. Non. He's so malakas kay Boss Danding, dont know why!

CYRUS BAGUIO.....................Co-Finals MVP together with L>A> .............................huhuhuhu!!! Kasalanan ni Jong lahat ito!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nasaan na si Miller natin? Kangkungan!

Sorry ha! Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sorry!

es em bi... es em bi.... es em bi....

laklakin na ang leche...

Tayo ang nilaklak! Talo!!! Natalo National Team!

Tama! With Caguioa and Helter in the team, the rahrah game of Ginebra will still be intact. Mas lalong ganado ang team with the two vis a vis Miller. Sayang itong si Miller, 2 time MVP pero parang walang gana. Siguro nga, di niya gamay ang run and gun plays ng Ginebra. Sa tingin ko, pang set play ang laro ni Miller. Ok pa naman siya, mabait at gusto pa naman ng mga teammates niya. Hanggang ngayon nga, nanghihinayang talaga ako kay Baguio. Run and gun ang style, fit na fit sa Ginerbra sana. Exciting player.

"....That was the last ABC Championship tasted by the Philippines....

Dito ginawa yung tournament kaya ang saya saya ng Pasko dito sa Pinas nuon. Imagine, basketball champion sa Asia! And on to the Olympics! ........................and that proved to be the last..........."

 

Not exactly, we would still win one more ABC- in '86 where we had naturalized players in Dennis Still and Jeff Moore. (That will have to be the subject of a new thread I guess)

 

I suddenly remember SEA'81 championship between the Philippines and Malaysia. Nagkaron din ng sapakan, with our bad boys Itoy Esguerra, JB Yango, and Ricky Relosa roughing up and brawling the Malaysians.

 

There's some parallels between the ABC'73 and SEA'81 brawls. Unang una was that it was held here in Manila with the Rizal Colosseum as the venue. Magpapasko din nun, with our country trying to regain the respective crowns...

\

Yes, pero I dont really recognize a champion kapag may ibang lahi sa team. I mean, look what happened now, after the "Filipinization" of Still and Moore including Brown, nasaan na sila ngayon? Saludo at kumakanta ng Star Spangled Banner and renouncing their "given" Filipino citizenship. Like what sa PBA now, after so many years of playing and staying (well, during the tournament proper) sa Pinas, some for more than a decade, ni hindi pa rin marunong mag tagalog. Siguro patriotism still in my blood like during the reign of Martirez, Sullano, Cleofas, Jaworski and Webb (although foreign sounding names, eh, pinoy na pinoy (mas lalo sa pagmumura!) hahaha

O,.T. (wala pa kasing thread ng Meralco)

MANILA, Philippines - Hardcourt legend Robert Jaworski is being consulted on how to promote Meralco’s expected entry into the PBA next season and it appears the Big J’s advice of using a socio-civic approach for advocacy will go a long way in keynoting the power company’s return to big-time basketball.

Jaworski discussed plans informally with Meralco executives at a Japanese restaurant in a Makati hotel last week.

Nothing is certain as to Jaworski’s role in the soon-to-be-formed Meralco team. It’s not likely he will be the coach or manager. But because Jaworski was a Meralco basketball star in the 1970s, he may be asked to serve as an ambassador of goodwill or consultant.

At least three well-known cage figures are rumored to be candidates to coach Meralco and Jaworski isn’t one of them. A current UAAP champion coach, a former UAAP champion coach and a former PBA champion coach are said to be the nominees – whether or not they know it.

“It was a friendly meeting and no offer was made whatsoever,” said a source privy to the discussion. “The Meralco executives wanted to hear from the Big J himself about the company’s basketball history, why it was so successful.”

Jaworski told the executives that since Meralco is a service company, it must play with an advocacy. The executives reportedly agreed that Meralco should be an “enabler” or a vehicle by which to assist people or the community through sports.

Jaworski’s advice was to play for a higher purpose. “Tulong sa masa is what he pushed for,” said the source. “The team must be focused on an advocacy. At the same time, he spoke about the necessity of building a championship-caliber team with disciplined players who will command respect and admiration. He specifically told the executives to stay away from players and coaches with a bad attitude.”

Another source said Meralco will employ a “unique” style of sports marketing where an NGO will be its beneficiary. The approach will not be to find a sponsor but to support a beneficiary. The example is football’s F. C. Barcelona which supports UNICEF as its beneficiary and carries the UNICEF logo in uniforms, not a brand of a commercial sponsor paying for jersey space. Under this approach, Meralco will likely donate its share of PBA ticket proceeds to the designated beneficiary.

Jaworski, 64, was reportedly offered at least P2 million a month to take an active role with an existing PBA franchise as coach or team manager or whatever capacity of his choice last year.

“Money is not everything to the Big J,” said a Jaworski confidant. “He weighed the circumstances and couldn’t see himself with a team playing against Ginebra.”

Jaworski, who resigned as chairman of the Philippine Reclamation Authority last March, recently broke back into the media limelight by appearing in TV and print ads with Manny Pacquiao for Ginebra. The ads, which also feature Pacquiao’s mother Dionisia, are a huge hit.

“The Big J is keeping in shape,” said the confidant. “He plays tennis every morning at Corinthian Gardens and swims in his pool at home every night. He’s open to participate in a benefit game to raise funds for retired and less fortunate PBA players even as a playing coach. His stamina is good. He can still play at least 15 minutes in a game if he wants to.”

Next March, Jaworski intends to finally retire his PBA jersey No. 7. “Strictly speaking, the Big J hasn’t retired from playing,” continued his confidant. “So he plans to make it official. There are offers for the rights to write his autobiography which I think will be a best seller. It would be interesting to trace his roots, how he got started in basketball and what he experienced as a player here and abroad and as a senator. He’s not the Living Legend for nothing.”

There is speculation that Jaworski is also in contention for the Philippine Sports Commission chairmanship.

“It makes sense for him to be the PSC chairman,” said the confidant. “First, he has the sports background. Second, he knows how government works. Third, he is a former athlete who feels for athletes. And fourth, he will surely get along with the Philippine Olympic Committee president and it’s important that the POC and PSC work together to push the national sports program forward.”

Jaworski’s son Dodot is married to POC president Jose Cojuangco’s daughter Mikee.

pi-no.

 

hirap mag kuwento dito at baka mag-po din si howard sa akin.

 

narining ko nga sa lolo ko yung pangbubugbog nila jawo at reynoso sa mga referee nung panahon pa ng micaa. the worse brawl daw accdg. to him. unfortunately, i couldn't vouch for him at hindi pa ako tao nun. promise.

Yes, Kanski, its the worst brawl na na witness ko. Dont know na yung 50s and 40s Imagine pati referee ginulpi at duguan. Unlike yung mga brawls na iba, players lang, kung minsan kasama team officials. Dito lahat lahat and including the spectators sa bleachers, sa upper box hanggang labas ng coliseum, naghabulan, may mga nabasag na windshield. Its such a nightmare. At may pusa pang kasama sa court. Mga basag na bote. Ganyan ka "passionate" nuon ang basketball. May pride kasi para sa bansa.

Hi bro, another senior citizen here too :-)

 

I think you must have remembered the brawl between Shin Dong Pa and our own Tembong Melencio during the '73 ABC finals? I've been trying to look for it sa youtube pero di ko makita.

 

Now, those were the good old day!!!

I think its all because of the tight guarding of Tembong na may siko, patid, at sahod kay Shin. Nag iinit na yung coach ng Korea nuon when he sent in his man-to-man defense against our national team. By the way, the championship was held here sa Rizal Coliseum then Biglang sinuntok ni Shin at siniko si Tembong. Tembong, being a hooded Tondo boy then (walang pumapalag dito nuon!-not even Big J), ayun, nagkagulo, awatan pero not a major rumble. Cooler head prevailed. That was the last ABC Championship tasted by the Philippines. Oo nga pala, patay na si Tembong, namatay sa beerhouse nuong umaawat sa away, nasaksak sa dibdib. Very colorful player and, after 30+ years, I met his son, player ng defunct MBA kaya lang hindi nagtagal, nawasak ang tuhod kaagad. He is now a councilor sa Guagua, Pampanga.

Dito ginawa yung tournament kaya ang saya saya ng Pasko dito sa Pinas nuon. Imagine, basketball champion sa Asia! And on to the Olympics! ........................and that proved to be the last...........

Jaworski was the lead guard of that team alongside Francis Arnaiz, Ramon "Tito" (later called "Mon") Fernandez, Reynoso and William "Bogs" Adornado. Other players in that team included Rogelio "Tembong" Melencio, David "Dave" Regullano, Rosalio "Yoyong" Martirez, Manuel "Manny" Paner, Alberto "Abet" Guidaben, Jaime "Jimmy" Mariano and Ricardo "Joy" Cleofas.

It was also around this time when the nickname "Big J" was given to him, resembling the "Big O" tag given to Oscar Robertson who Jaworski played like.

Nikki Coseteng grew up in the shadow of his father’s passion for sports, basketball in particular to which she, too, fell in love with.

So that when businessman-sportsman Emerson Coseteng, the founding president of the Philippine Basketball Association, joined his Creator, the chore of managing the family-owned Mariwasa team in the country’s and Asia’s first professional league fell on her shoulder.One of the biggest contributions she made to the league, she recalled, was the institutions of several reforms in terms of officiating.

“Ang nakakatawa at talagang hindi ko malilimutan, it all started with a swing at one of the referees that officiated in one of Mariwasa games.

“We were playing powerhouse Crispa and leading by three points with only seven seconds left. Natalo kami at the end because of what I considered a stupid call,” Coseteng, who took over managing the team in 1983, recalled.

“Although our coach, (the late) Tito Eduque, a gentleman through and through, was pacifying me, saying it was all part of the game, galit ako talaga,” she said.

“So inabangan ko yung referee na tumawag on the way to the dugout, confronted him and took a punch at him hitting him on his face. Everybody was stunned at what happened. Yung mga photographers nga hindi nakakuha,” she said.

The incident, she continued, led though to several meetings of the board towards aimed at improving the officiating.

“Galit na galit ang board, sabi nga ni Leo (the late founding commissioner Leo Prieto) if a woman at that was forced to do something like punching a referee, something’s really wrong with the officiating,” Coseteng, who now owns the Diliman Preparatory School, recalled.

Ay naku, mga iho, mga iha, malapit nang senior citizen here. It was during my early teens na witness ko ang nakakakilabot na rumble. The game was Crispa-Meralco sa MICAA early 70s. Halatang niluluto ng referees (Obias and Cruz) ang Meralco ng biglang pumutok ang bulkan. Binato ng pagkalas lakas ng bola (rinig sa stands yung sapol) sa mukha ni Jawo si referee Cruz. Bumagsak. Sa kabilang court naman hinabol ni Big Boy Reynoso (sentro ng Meralco) si referee Obias nang binigyan ng right hook sa mukha, bumagsak, sabay walang tigil ng sipa ang inabot. I remember yung announcer nuon saying "There's a madman in the court". Sigaw ng sigaw sa mike. Ang tagal nagka awatan. Duguan nilabas yung dalawang referee. Cruz was a dentist at that time sa aming neighborhood. Habang nagkakagulo, may naghagis ng pusa sa court, yes, a cat! Ewan ko kung saan nakuha yung pusa, umulan din ng barya, bote, sapatos, relos.....dahil sa init ng ulo ng mga fans ng Meralco. Ban for life yung dalawang players. (pero re instated later dahil sa pakiusap ng then Basketball Association of the Philippines head honcho Lito Puyat. Sayang daw galing pang national team. Hanggang dito na lang naaalala ko. Dont know kung nagkabati na yung mga refs at sina Jawo at Big Boy ngayon

@DS

diko sure kun libre yun haha, kasi kun magbabayad ka para manuod dapat todo cheer ka sa team mo, eh un mga nakita ko ko halos wlang reaction eh haha....

Baka sa layo nila hindi na nila alam ang nangyayari sa court.

BABY JAMES: Yaya, sino ang diperensya sa paghihiwalay nila...si mama o si papa?

YAYA: Ewan ko. Magbihis ka at pupuntahan natin si Philip Salvador, Joey Marquez, Alvin Patrimonio, Rommel Adducul, Robin Padilla, Vic Sotto, Gabby Concepcion, Mark Lapid, Chiz Escudero at Mark Lapid. Sila lang ang nakakaintindi sa mama mo.

dpat wag na tlaga pglaruin si Cabagnot! dati pa feeling star tlaga yan!

gusto hawak lagi bola!

 

tingin aabot pa ng game 7 yan!

pag laruin si Pennisi, pra mgkaroon ng rumble! hehehehe!

Naiilang kasi si Cabagnot sa buhok niya. Panay ang hawi mas nag d dribble Pero tama yung analysis ni Dallas. May laro pero walang play, gets nyo? Pero ang galing nuong galing sa pick ni Hontiveros tapos ala Reggie Miller na quick release. Kaya lang bihirang mangyari sa tindi ng depensa ng Alaska. Medyo minalas lang si Tenorio. Mas maganda kasi kung yung talagang laro ng mga players ang lumabas. Naaawa naman ako kay Danny Siegel, parang ang haba haba na ng mukha sa bench. I trade na lang nila. Sayang ang talent maski may edad. He can still help any team sa PBA. Si Racela, dont retire yet!

tulog may pasok bukas. anyway, ugly win but a win is a win and will take it.

Sabi mo pa, its an ugly win...........a win na hindi mo maramdaman na panalo. Buti na lang hindi National Team ang status ng Alaska. Magaling lang si Tim Cone when to call timeouts, where to place his players, what to do. But still, its an UGLY WIN.

HOY!!!!!!!!!! GISING, MGA SMB LASENGGOS!!! Nanalo naman, bakit napakatahimik! Ano ba yan? Buti pa Ginebra kapag nanalo, daming messages. HUWAG MAWALAN NG PAG ASA!!!
