DeSagana Diop (pronounced Sa-Gah-Na Jop) has emerged to be a key stopper in coach Avery Johnson’s scheme of things and is contributing significant minutes, if not stats, in the Phoenix series.

                    [Summary] => Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June every year and with the milestone in mind, I thought of asking Purefoods basketball player Jean Marc Pingris Jr., about the whereabouts of his long-lost dad.


Pingris, 24, said he doesn’t know where his father, a Frenchman, is or if he’s alive or not. But he’d like to know, reconnect if he’s still alive and learn of his French roots.

                    [Summary] => In his Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) heyday, Freddie Abuda was known as a hard-nosed defender. His job was to shackle the other team’s top scorer. It didn’t matter to Abuda if he had to shadow an import or a local. He played the game the best way he knew how and he never backed down from a challenge.

Pingris, 24, said he doesn’t know where his father, a Frenchman, is or if he’s alive or not. But he’d like to know, reconnect if he’s still alive and learn of his French roots.

                    [Summary] => In his Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) heyday, Freddie Abuda was known as a hard-nosed defender. His job was to shackle the other team’s top scorer. It didn’t matter to Abuda if he had to shadow an import or a local. He played the game the best way he knew how and he never backed down from a challenge.
