Basketball Happenings in the Last 7 Days


- San Beda forges a playoff for the number 1 seed against San Sebastian, 71-67. The two teams will play again on Wednesday to settle the Final Four positioning.

- PBA started its 35th season with Japeth Aguilar playing for Burger King, however, his Burger King debut was not the way he would like it to be, losing to Purefoods 93-80.

- Ateneo won the UAAP Championship for the second straight year for the seniors and the Eaglets also won the Juniors crown.

- Also, another basketball league is born, the Asean Basketball League, where different countries from South East Asia battles for basketball supremacy in the region, and the game started off between two rivals, the Philippine Patriots and the Indonesia Satra Muda BriTama with the Philippines getting the first ever win of the league, 76-69.

- Speaking of Asean Basketball League, this is a great league for Filipinos, as it gives more opportunities for Filipino Basketball players to showcase their skills as some of them are playing as imports for other countries like Indonesia, Brunei and Singapore, where Rensy Bajar, Don Camaso and Al Vergara plays as an import.

- Also, Congratulations to Firequinito.com for winning the Best Sports Blog at the 2009 Philippine Blog Awards. Keep up the good work and best wishes for defending the crown on 2010.
