moetwisted Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 8 years ago, I played with Aris Franco, the oldest Rookie to play in the PBA from Shell in a small Chineese League. He even emerged as the MVP! He used to work as an aircon technician for Masagana Dept. Store during those times, I wonder where he is now...He's such a humble guy. Quote Link to comment
