This is how Craig Anthony Hodges, a Chicago Bull for four years, describes his former teammate. The reference is not so much because of Jordan’s ability or inability to sing; or his head-banging skills or lack thereof. Hodges explains that it was just the whole aura around "His Airness," in as far as the entourage that always goes with him and the throngs of people that like to see him.

Ramel Lloyd, nicknamed the Rock, is in town to play for the Barako in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Third Conference starting Aug. 30.

One look at Lloyd and you’ll know why he’s called the Rock. He’s built solid like his 225-pound frame was chiseled out of granite. His biceps aren’t only big–they’re bulging. He looks more like a heavyweight boxer than a basketball player.

Shaq brought along a bunch of buddies to play on his team. Among them were National Basketball Association (NBA) veterans Chris Gatling and Duane Cooper and a wiry, hard-working forward who spelled his first name different from usual.

The spindly forward was Juaquin (not Joaquin) Hawkins of Long Beach State.

Second, it was in the PBA where he got his first taste of coaching. And third, it was in the PBA where he made lasting friendships, particularly with Tommy Manotoc.

McDonald, 48, played four memorable years in the PBA. [DatePublished] => 2000-04-04 00:00:00 [ColumnID] => 133272 [Focus] => 0 [AuthorID] => 1804869 [AuthorName] => Joaquin M. Henson [SectionName] => Sports [SectionUrl] => sports [URL] => ) ) )
