Greatest Single Performance From An Athlete

Jerry Codinera's 11 Shot Blocks in a single game.

 

Jerry Codiñera (born November 14, 1966) is a retired professional basketball player of the Philippine Basketball Association. He is nicknamed the "Defense Minister" for his prowess at the defensive end.[1] He is also a member of the 25 Best Players of all Time of PBA and Philippine men's national basketball team of the 1994 Asian Games. He played college basketball at the University of the East. With Allan Caidic, they led the UE Red Warriors to a back to back championship in 1984-1985, the last championship of the Red Warriors in UAAP. Prior to joining the PBA in 1988, he played amateur basketball in the Philippine Amateur Basketball League (PABL, now the Philippine Basketball League).

 

For 12 seasons, he was one half of the most dominant duo to ever terrorize the All-Filipino hardcourts. But a trade split up his partnership with Alvin Patrimonio and saw him wear a New Jersey for the first time since joining the PBA with Purefoods in 1988. During the Commissioner's Cup, Jerry Codiñera was traded to Mobiline for Andy Seigle. He succeeded Philip Cezar as Tapal King and owns the single game record for blocks at 11.

 

A perennial member of the All-Defensive Team, this University of the East product was given the moniker "Defense Minister" for his tireless manning of the post. In fact, the 6-5 Codiñera was also a terror on the offensive end who was blessed with an unerring 18-foot jumpshot not normally found in big men. He came close to winning an MVP award in 1993 but lost to Patrimonio in the tightest race for the prestigious trophy in league history.
