Share ko lang sa akin. Grade 4 nung nag start ako maglaro bola ng tennis tapos gumawa ng ring haha. tapos grade 5 may liga sa amin yung pinsan ko nasali ako hindi mangiyak ngiyak ako ang ganda ng uniform nila dilaw! tapos wolves pangalan ng team hahaha. so nag adik ako pagkatapos non pag may free na oras basketball kahit gabi shooting. then lumipat kami ng bahay 1st Year HS (5'10 na ako nito) sa bagong village namin pag sabado ng umaga gumigising ako ng maaga sun riser kalaban namin mga matatanda medyo natuto at nahasa. after school pag uwi basketball kagad. e maraming tambay sa court namin kaya naglalaro kami 5pm onwards walang ilaw yung court kaya tawag samin nung mga tambay ng court midnight players pero sige parin kaming magbabarkada.

2nd year highschool medyo marunong na so nakasali na ako sa Intrams namin sa varsity hindi parin then sa subdivision nakakasabay na sa mga mamumugo umaabot nadin ng ring. minsan pinaglalaro ako pg o sg medyo ahead ako sa mga ka age ko dahil kaliwat kanan na ako lumay up may dribble mabilis may shooting kahit papano hanggang 3rd year ganinto. 4th year ayaw ko talaga mag varsity kasi mas gusto kong mang chicks kaya lang pag hindi ako nag varsity mag C-CAT ako so nag try out ako at nakuha naman kaya lang pwesto ko PF dahil isa ako sa malalaki. naglaro kami sa AAPS walang talo finals tinalo kami ng San Lorenzo arch nemesis ng St. James haha si Ryan Arania ng Rain or Shine ang star player nila non 6'1 na point guard ampucha shooter pa. ako bench player buong AAPS walang 10 points ata iniscore ko.

Then College nag try out sa school nakapasok naman team B nga lang simula non mga liga nalang sa subdivision sa office at pick up games. sayang lang at hindi na ako tumangkad 1st to 4th year 5'10 height ko hanggang mag work hahahah. frustration ko talaga yung height sayang, nainggit ako sa mas bata kong kapatid naging 6'1 kaya lang ayaw mag basketball. nung college ko na realize na hindi ako pang pro dahil nga hindi ako tumangkad so hindi na ako masyadong motivated mag practice studies nalang... sana makasali sa next season ng PEX

[netsurfer1]

[MadSea23]

ako naman tinuruan lang ng tatay ko, binilot na medyas at wire na galing sa notebook ang ring ko noon na ikinabit sa dingding ng kwarto naming pamilya.
nagsimula na din ako manuod ng basketball sa ch7, NBA on GMA pa yun (80s - 1987 or 88 ata,hosted by Quinito Henson) favorite team ko Lakers and Favorite player ko si Jordan (well sino ba ang hindi, lol) tapos ayun, the rest is history na. Sa sobrang hilig ko sa basketball, kahit hindi ako marunong ayun tuloy pa din sa paglalaro. (yep, I was once a ''solar boy'') )

The Glory years of Paras, Magsanoc and Parks in the early 90's made me focus on basketball. I was in elementary then and we would play in a home-made backboard and goal with a junior-sized ball. Naalala ko pa, multi-colored yung bola namin. Every summer, me, my bro and yung 2 cousins namin always play sa backyard ng ancestral home namin. Sa height ng Ginebra-Shell rivalry, we decided to paint the backboard with "Shell" and "Ginebra" (yes, kahoy ang board nun, kasi di pa uso fiber glass masyado ). Kami nung isang cousin ko yung Shell team while my bro and the other cousin are the Gin boys kasi bad boys sila. LOL!

Pag rainy days, gagawa kami ng ring out of yung cardboard cylinder sa mga packaging tapes the ididikit sa likod ng pinto ng kwarto the we’ll play using a tennis ball. There are times nasisigawan na kami ni erpat kasi ang ingay namin sa loob ng room pero pagtalikod derecho pa rin. Height noon ng Dream Team 2 domination. Vividly remembers Reggie Miller wearing goggles due to an eye injury (maisingit lang).

Anyway, nung medyo confident na, lumabas na kami ng bakuran. Lumalaban na kami dun sa kapitbahay namin na magkakapatid from Pampanga. Yes, Solar boy rin ako nun. Basket kami from 8AM to 11:30AM, uuwi lang para kumain, balik ulit ng 1PM (imagine, peak ng init yun) Final year ko sa elementary I decided to try out sa varsity team, nakuha naman awa ng Diyos, naging kaibigan ko mga Milo BEST graduates. After weeks of practice, di natuloy yung competition. wapak! That summer, first time ko naman sumali sa summer league. Our team was made up of scrubs and right on the first day we set a whole lotta record for futility. Most 3 second violations. Lowest point output. The game ended at 44-9. Up to now naalala ko pa yon. That tournament, particularly the opening day loss motivated me though. Told myself I will never be beaten that bad again, no matter where I play.

HS days, in summer of 1995, I grew 3 inches taller from 5'4" to 5'7". I had trouble adjusting kasi I play the 2 spot. So when the tryouts invitation came for the HS varsity in my sophomore year, I can't really identify the position I wanna play. Alam mo naman saten, pag matangkad na bata ka, sentro ka. Somehow, biktima ako nung sistema na yun. So in short, that attempt to make the team failed. To comfort ourselves nung mga kaibigan kong kasamang na-cut, nanood kami ng Eskapo na movie right straight out of the gym. Being cut though motivated me more. I told myself "di hamak namang mas magaling ako sa mga nakapasok sa team".

3rd year HS, I transferred to an all-male school that is well-known for its basketball program, my friends told me lalong di ako makakapasok dito. The coach was like Pat Riley, old-school, disciplined and very much conditioning-oriented. I luckily made it though. Kasama ko pinsan ni Cris Bolado sa team (suot nya lagi yung shorts ni Bolado sa practice na parang pajama nya) and a would-be Team B PG ng FEU. Grabe praktis namin nun, RUN, RUN and RUN. Dito ako natuto uminom ng Lipovitan before practice unfortunately dito rin natuto bumarkada at natuto magyosi at uminom ng gin. One week na lang tournament na nun, nahuli ako drinking with my classmates. Ayun, sipa sa varsity. The following year, senior na sa HS, pinadaan pa talaga ako nung coach sa tryouts. Pasok naman pero since may sungay na ko, natuto akong magsinungaling. I once told him di pa fully healed yung sprained ankle ko when in fact ok na sya para lang mapahaba ang pahinga ko. Ang masaklap, yung isang tournament na nilalaruan ko pag weekend, part pala ng committee si coach. I remember, ganda pa ng laro ko nun, Best Player of the Game kumbaga. After ng laro, andun sya sa committee and shouted at me "Kala ko pilay ka pa, hataw ka kanina ah. Sabihin mo lang kung ayaw mo na maglaro sakin". So ayun, syempre napahiya na, dun ko na tinapos ang HS varsity career ko. Pag may time though, naglalaro ako sa lahat ng pwedeng laruan. Court sa tabi ng kalye, court ng mga conotic boys, laro kahit ice tubig lang pustahan. I suddenly noticed mas matangkad na ko (5'10"), mas mataas na ko tumalon, mas accurate na shooting ko and I can dominate a game already. Kinakalaban ko na nun were guys that are 5 to 10 years older than me. Dahil sa larong kalye, napag-aralan ko pumoste and play with my back against the basket. I started dunking on stronger, bigger guys sa halfcourt games.

Before college, I hurt my leg and knee though, dun ko naisip di pwedeng puro athleticism lang. That’s when I watched how Hakeem and David Robinson outwit their defenders. I learned the art of faking, footwork, up and under moves and shooting turnaround jumpers. That landed me the captain ball role for the whole 4-year college career. I learned the jumphooks and babyhooks and used those against bigger centers. Good thing about my game was that I can light it up from the outside too. We once won a third place trophy with my buzzer-beating three. That set off my game to greater heights, our teams would dominate tournaments. Won championships after championships. I don't really like scoring in bunches though, I was always a team player but I just love lighting it up in crunch time. I can defer to another star but I don't shy away during crucial stretches of the game. And yes, I’ve lost some games in crunch time too; missed a FT or didn’t make a final shot but I overall I still saved more games than not in the endgame.

When I worked, that's when I met Coach (and eventually ninong) Allan Gregorio and Bo Perasol. We will join tournaments in Makati and Sucat and we literally ran PBA-type plays. We would run our killer diamond D and beat opponents by almost half a century mark. We won a championship in 2005 and that seemed the peak of my career. That's until I realized my game can be lifted a bit higher pa, I learned playing the pivot really well. I literally swatted every shot that comes my way. I learned to outjump the best of them. It was all good until I blew my right knee in early 2010. Slight ACL tear, and it sidelined me for over a year. Lost game shape and conditioning. I was actually scheduled to join the 2010 PEX rookie camp but got injured. Last year, I was enlisted once more but the knee just won't hold up. Still working to gameshape form right now but I promised Comish Kiko that I will join the draft this year no matter what. 

Did I just blew my draft chances by telling my story?

[color_s_Kaboink]

[tazjhaie]

madumi ba maglaro si rodman? i dont think so... passionate, yes... not dirty.. maraming naaasar sa kanya kasi madepensa talaga... lakas pa mang-asar... ika nga ni Phil Jackson, kung may player sya na gustong icoach at pinakamadaling turuan, hindi si MJ or Kobe, kundi si Rodman...
