He was supposed to retire at the end of the 2015-2016 season but with Ginebra ending an 8-year title drought with the Governors’ Cup title last year, he decided to play another season.
The 41-year-old was a direct hire by Ginebra in 2000 and spent all of his playing career in the PBA with the franchise.
He is also a 7-time PBA All-Star, a 2-time All-Star Game MVP and a 2-time member of the Mythical First team. – Rappler.com
