Ginebra die hard ka ba?

Talaga?

Bakit sa tuwing nagmimintis yung idol mo, sa tuwing kumakagat sa peke ng kung sinong mas maliit sa kanya si Japeth o kaya naman e natatalo sa pwestuhan si Greg Slaughter sa ilalim, kung maka rant ka sa social media akala mo e isinanla mo ang kaluluwa mo sa demonyo sa laki ng ininvest mo sa Ginebra?

Ano ka, stockholder?

Pasintabi sa mga nakararami, pero sa tuwing masama ang timpla ng Ginebra sa PBA paulit ulit ko na lang nababasa yung sinisisi ang lahat. Ang coach. Ang sistema. Si LA Tenorio. Yung referee. Kulang na lang talaga e isisi natin ung sunod sunod na talo na sinasapit ng Ginebra ngayong PBA Philippine Cup sa balbas kambing ni Mark Caguioa para matapos na ang lahat.

Ginebra: flawed, but good

Barangay Ginebra San Miguel has taken the Philippine Basketball Association by storm, now up the Philippine Cup standings with an impressive 9-1 slate.

At the forefront of the attack is floor general L.A. Tenorio whose veteran smarts and point guard savvy remains unmatched. His teammates trust him, rumored, former headcases and divas follow his every marching order without question and there is arguably no other Filipino basketball player today that is universally loved and respected regardless of affiliation.

While the Ginebra faithful continue to wait for their former PBA MVPs Mark Caguioa and Jayjay Helterbrand to play their way back to form, another player has emerged to make a case for the league's ultimate individual accolade.

Recognizing A Different Era for Ginebra

No Underdog in Caguioa

Now that we're just a few days away from celebrating and paying tribute to the man who is/was widely recognized as the face of Philippine basketball, it's high time to set the record straight when it comes to the team that he left behind and the immense popularity that they enjoy to this very day.

We're talking about no less than the legendary Robert Jaworski, Sr., whose jersey will officially be retired not by his mother team but by the Philippine Basketball Association as a whole. We're also talking about the Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings, the only team he has ever played for/ coached outside the Toyota days.
