MANILA, Philippines – Alaska Aces second-year star Chris Banchero helped Rappler Sports launch its official Twitter account, @rapplersports, on Saturday, January 23, with the hashtag #BancheroTakeover trending in the Philippines.
There were many memorable moments during the takeover with the 6-foot-1 Filipino-Italian baller, who turns 27 on Sunday.
Banchero discussed how he felt about being thrown out of Game 3 of the Philippine Cup Finals the night before in Lucena City, his first ever suspension:
@Pearlysyells @ChrisBanchero surprised! First time I’ve ever been thrown out of a game. Felt like Rasheed Wallace lol

Banchero, a point guard, also discussed the toughest guys he’s had to guard in the PBA:
@yannacastro @ChrisBanchero so many tough guards in the PBA. Stanley and Castro are both very good with the ball
