BGK won the series; Air21 the best team w/o Fil-shAm’s

Congratulations to Barangay Ginebra Kings for winning the championship against the pure Filipino team aside from import, Air21 Express. They won the title by always saying they won it by heart. Yeah Right! Anyway, Thanks for the best game played ever by Paul Artadi and Ronald Tubid. The game is much more exciting because of these two players providing excellent basketball throughout the series. Nice Job!
We all know that Barangay Ginebra is the most popular basketball team in the Philippines, because it markets liquor that is very affordable and very nice drink for Filipinos. The fan rocks the Araneta Coliseum by giving support to their favorite team every time Ginebra San Miguel plays in the venue. Ten percent of the crowd goes to “UBE REPUBLIC” I am one of them.
I am much very proud for the Air21 Express because even without Fil-Sham’s or lets say Half Filipinos-Half Blood the team still reach the finals with pure heart and determination till the very last game. It is very nice to still have a team who believe in all pure Filipino balers rather than getting a fil-am player just to win a title. So keep it up Air21 management for not selecting fil-am players in a draft.
The Legend Robert Jaworski is not happy for the championship of Ginebra definitely and many Filipinos. Because having that kind of Ginebra line-up was totally messed. Fil-Ams players can win you a crown in the PBA but if we all try to believe in our pure Filipino balers we can win in the international tournament.
ABC 5, and the new “TV 5 Shake mo, TV mo” were owned by Mr. Tony Boy Cojuanco and who owns the three teams in the PBA, of course San Miguel Corporation by the Cojuanco’s. They are Purefoods TJ Giants, Magnolia Beverage Masters and the Barangay Ginebra Kings. TV 5 ends the contract to the PBA for the last game of this season in a very exciting championship game. Finally, “It’s over” for the ABC and TV 5 coverage. No more bias coverage and one sided support for the Cojuanco’s team.
Next season the PBA will be aired over CS “Channel 9” and the Basketball TV under the Solar Entertainment Corporation. We must expect a lot of good coverage, more camera views, good english speaking commentators not bias, and more PBA Action and PBA Classic Game Replay in Basketball TV.

YOU have A GOOD COPY PASTE TALENT!!!!
August 21st, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Yes, I think the Igorots have a very good advantage in winning MMA competitions! They will put the Philippines on the world’s radar for talent scouts seeking players to play in the UFC! One breath pa lang from our Igorot talents, siguradong tumba na ang kalaban mapa Georges St Pierre man o Anderson Silva o Randy Couture o si Brock Lesnar! There’s no stopping our best bets from winning every match and fans will surely enjoy the halitosis action er combat. Congrats to the Ginebra Team! Good job!

sa c/s na ata ito next season.

First it is not fault of Ginebra to have an Fil-Sham line-up. Blame the PBA commissioner why they allow such. Secondly, I am a Ginebra fan because I believe on the “never-say-die” attitude of the team. Third, the drink, who you claimed cheap, is not related for being a Ginebra fan. This is sports not drinking sessions. Fourth, where did The Legend Jaworski mentioned that he is not happy for the win? Do you have a proof as I haven’t seen it. Fifth, the bias people covering the game. This is a Filipino mentality no wonder you belong to the UBE Republic. Be sport, admit losses, clap on the champions, and congratulate them. That’s the real sportsmanship. Lastly, the shift of PBA to Channel 9 is a management decision to revamp the station. Still it has nothing to do with the Cojuanco clan.
Again, Congratulation to Ginebra. Believe me I am a fan of the Toyota team since 1979 until Gilbey’s cama along, then Anejo Rum 65 and now Ginebra…. Thanks to ABC5 on the coverage and PBA in giving wonderful plays. More power to you….

August 21st, 2008 at 3:01 pm
It was team effort, medyo Bench pa nga ang gumawa talaga.
Injury Plagued, no Helterbrand and lost the import in the last 9 minutes.
Saan ka pa!?!
