The Pinoy Michael Jordan (Part 1 of 2)


G.O.A.T.

In celebration of the widely-recognized, Greatest of All Time, Michael Jordan’s 49th birthday (though KKS will always be quick to give an appreciative nod to Mr. Bill Russel and his untouchable 11 NBA World Championships), here’s this writer’s take on the Top Ten guys who were arguably the closest we’ve had to our own version of the Global Icon.

10. Gary David (Powerade Tigers)
One of today’s most feared and respected gunners, David often finds himself in the Jordan role of lead arsenal. Winning games mostly on sheer Jordanesque will in an un-Jordan-like come-from-behind fashion (don’t really recall a year in those 6 rings campaign wherein MJ was a clear cut underdog), David is a tribute to the “young” MJ who was dropping 30 and 40 point games but couldn’t break even owing to a so-so roster and subpar coaching (sorry Doug Collins fans). Only setback why David isn’t higher on this list is his age and ring count.
