                    [Title] => Alapag paces rookie derby
                    [Summary] => The way grizzled observers see it, there were several teams who could have picked up Jimmy Alapag long before Talk ‘n Text made him the 10th selection overall.


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.

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.

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.

"Alam ko naman ‘yun," said Limpot.
