Bakit nga ba ako isang Jervy Cruz / Jojo Duncil Fan?

Bakit nga ba?

Unang una ako ay isang Tomasino. Andun ako nun championship run ng UST noong Season 69. kung saan pinataob ng mga Tigre ang mga Agila. Napanood ata ng buong tropa namin ang halos lahat ng mga games ng UST noon. Simula ng First Round hanggang sa "nafood poisoning" (nagtae dahil nasobrahan sa libreng pagkain), tinambakan ng sandamukal ng Arrneow, at sa Second Round na bumalik na ang mga "nafoodpoisoning" (nagtatae) at binawian namin ang Arrneow. Nanalo sa step ladder format. Tinalo ang UE tapos tinalo ang "shoo-in Champs daw" tapos nagchampion na. Tamis diba? Cinderella Run ika nga nila. Di man lang pinansin ng mga eksperto bago magsimula ang season tapos biglang nagchampion.

Halimaw si Jervy Cruz noong mga panahon na iyon. Double Double Monster. Parang UAAP version ni Tim Duncan. kung ano kinulang ni Jervy sa height binawi niya sa utak. Nagaabang ng pasa mula kay Japs Cuan. o kaya nagaabang ng rebound galing sa mga mintis ni June Cortez, Francis Allera o Espirutu. Basta mabigay mo kay Jervy sa shaded lane yun bola sure 2 points na yun. Ilista mo na.

Si Jojo Duncil naman parang gangsta pag naglalaro. Ang haba ng shorts tapos kangkarot pag tumakbo at ang taas ng dribble. Pero lintek naman ang move ni Jojo noon. Pump fake tapos isang dribble tapos tirada na. O di naman kaya eh sasalaksak sa loob para mamingwit ng foul kay Doug Kramer o kaya kay Nkemakolam.

Kaya ngayon pag napapanood ko sa PBA na bench players lang yun dalawang yun. Nanghihinayang lang ako sa talento nun dalawa. Sana magsama ulit sa isang team tong dalawang to. Baka pwede sa Ginebra? :D dun din naman galing si Pido eh.


Oo nga pala. Salamat sa Graduation Gift niyo sa amin noon. :D

And it begins..

At long last I have been able to blog. I really wanted to start blogging for a longtime but due to time constraints (palusot ko lang) hahaha but seriously I really wasn't able to find time to blog due to several factors. Anyway moving on, I don't have any topic on mind right now but I'll just try to blog about NBA's newest "IT" Boy

Jeremy "Linsanity" Lin 

I'd say he is for real. Really! Who were the NBA Players that has had the same average as his for their First Five Games? Shaquille O’Neal, and someone other person named Michael Jordan.

Lin's company is not bad at all considering that those players were multiple champs. I could write so many things about Shaquille but most of us knows already what he did. He was the dominant player from 1995 - 2005 that could not shoot free throws consistently, but who cared when he was so dominating that one pivot move would erase his defender. And of course His Airness the Greatest Player of All Time Michael Jordan need I say more?

But I doubt Lin could sustain this kind of play as the season progresses. Why? First Melo would be back, Melo needs the ball in his hands for him to be effective. Same as Stat he needs more touches to be effective. I really think that Stat does not demand the ball too much early in the season since he knows that he needs to pace himself. But given that I think Lin's assist production will still be there though his scoring might dip a bit.

For now let's just ride the Lin Train and enjoy the LINSANITY

P.S. I really need to blurt this out... 

Damn You Quinito for insisting your bullshit monicker for Jeremy Lin. the Dragon my ass!!
