Richmond Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 The most explosive import combination so far is the teamup of Tommy Davies and Joe ward of Ginebra, they are averaging almost a hundred points per game between themselves. Sad to say they did'nt reach the finals that conference being eliminated by Great Taste where that infamous brawl happened between Atoy Co and the 2 Ginebra imports. Quote Link to comment

revi Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Who remembers Kevin Gamble? This import played for Ginebra but was cut after a month or weeks of playing.. He was good but never created much impact on the floor.. Ironically, he was taken in by the Celtics in the NBA and became very proficient there.. Matagal-tagal din itong nag-laro for the Celtics after his stint with Ginebra.. Quote Link to comment

Gamble was in between NBA jobs when he was cut by Ginebra and then showed up at the Boston Celtics free agent camp and made the regular season team. He was a consistent Celtics contributor and eventually averaged in double figure for a good number of years. He played for 6 years with the Celtics appearing in 336 regular season and 29 play-off games. Quote Link to comment

Agent_mulder Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) Rob was paired withformer college mate Thompson to finish second behind the Gin Makers. Thompson's other claim to fame is that he is the brother of former NBA regular and LA Laker back-up center, Mychal Thompson.  Boss, if i remember correctly it was manila beer with Michael Young and Harold Keeling (along with local players Guidaben, Villamin, Mon Cruz, etc.) that finished second to Ginebra in the third conference of the 1986 season....remember that game winning dunk by Billy Ray Bates guys? Tanduay won the two other conference of that season beating Great Taste in the first conference, 'di ko lang sure kung sino nakalaban ng Tanduay in the second conference pero parang Ginebra yata or playoffs lang yun? But i remember na grabe ang shooting ni freddie hubalde noon na i hated him pero sa kanya ko natutuhan yung bankshot...sorry kung OT  Sino ung import ng presto dati na tinaguriang "the human eraser"?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Winston Crite who also played for alaska...  Who remembers Kevin Gamble? This import played for Ginebra but was cut after a month or weeks of playing.. He was good but never created much impact on the floor.. Ironically, he was taken in by the Celtics in the NBA and became very proficient there.. Matagal-tagal din itong nag-laro for the Celtics after his stint with Ginebra..<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I remember him, Kevin Gamble was probably cut by the Gin Kings for being ineffective, he is about 6'6 of 6'5 pero he loves shooting from the outside saka parang takot pumasok sa loob ito at makipagbanggaan, played for the Celtics and wears jersey no. 34, it must have been a blessing in disguise for him kasi he was able to play for the Celtics after being replaced by Ginebra..

jt2003 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Guys, please correct me here. I believe one of the greatest NBA players who played in the PBA was Calvin Murphy, for Toyota. He had already practically retired from the NBA at the time, and he couldn't fit into the Toyota system because he was just one guard too many. He had a forgettable stint, since there was already a great "Batman and Robin" tandem at Toyota at the time. Quote Link to comment

Richmond Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Anyone remembers Vincent Askew who played for Shell and after his stint in the PBA was recruited by the Seattle Supersonics in the NBA. He is a starter for his team for a few years in the NBA. Quote Link to comment

Bobby Parks<{POST_SNAPBACK}> bigla ko lang naalala iyong "fateful 16 seconds" na iyon. si andrew fields yata ang import ng toyota at the time. di ko malimutan si fields dahil pag tinranslate mo sa tagalog ang pangalan niya eh, andres bukid.  anyway, para sa akin, si bobby parks pa rin ang all-time best import, followed by black, bates, and chambers. definitely, bates has to be the flashiest of all time, i think he was with crispa then, kaya nakakalungkot nung mga huli niyang seasons dahil di na siya ganun kagaling.

Cerified scorer at all levels. HS, college and pros (NBA). One of the highest scorers, both total and averages in the US NCAA (I think he scored 75 pts once in college). Quote Link to comment
brawler201 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Anybody remembers the exhibition game between the PBA selection (including imports) and the NBA champs Washington Bullets? I remember Joe Cantada introducing the PBA selection as the CANONBALLS to the delight of everybody at the Araneta Coliseum. Quote Link to comment
