The way grizzled observers see it, there are currently several team personnel who are banging their heads on the sharp corners of the locker room in the current Samsung Philippine Basketball Association All-Filipino Cup for allowing the pint-sized playmaker to reach the 10th pick overall.


However, the way Jimmy Alapag sees it he hasn’t proven anything just yet.

                    [Summary] => Danny Ildefonso may have been sidelined long enough to enable other players to grab the spotlight this season. But he made two things clear. One, he is not easily forgotten, and two, he won’t continue simply fading away.


The six-foot-six former Most Valuable Player sat his chiseled 220-pound frame in a plastic chair and smiled amazingly at the numbers shown to him.


"Nakakataba ng puso," he said.

"Nah, I’m just kidding," said Cone, who even borrowed the microphone to make an on-the-spot erratum on air.

                    [Summary] => The row of chairs on the interview table inside the press room is reserved for the winning coach and the top players of a team after a game.


In all four Alaska games so far in the current Samsung Philippine Basketball Association All-Filipino Cup, Mike Cortez has been a regular guest to the special seats. So much so that after Sunday night’s post-game chat, someone told him to keep up the frequency of his post-game visits to sportswriters.

And in smoky grills where basketball is the favorite beer topic, talks of the fellowship of professional hoop stars with no ring to show off usually centers on the 6-4 forward out of the prestigious La Salle basketball program.
