10 Reasons Why Pinays Dig (Pro) Basketball Players

For the sole intention of laughter only. Not based on experience or whatsoever. Players do not kill me. :)  

10. Who can resist the cuts that seem to have come naturally? Talk about h-o-t. (But yeah, so are football players. More exposure for the hoop players though.)

9. They are easier to spot than football players, in and off court. PBA airs live at least thrice a week, may close up and slow mo’s pa. If we’re lucky, some cameramen shoot in their dugouts without their jerseys on. Football players have their games shot mostly at aerial/ wide views. Too fast paced action: it’s hard to stare. (Besides the Younghusbands, sige ladies, give me 7 more Filipino pro-football players without googling. AND DAVID BECKHAM does not count. He’s not an AZKAL for crying out loud ;p)

8. Basketball players are toned- down celebrities. Ladies get starstruck when seeing them, and it’s harder to find out more about them than showbiz hunks. “Mysterious” types.

7. Root word, ball. Filipino, bola. Mambobola. They’re well-trained! Haha. LOL . Peace, ballers. J (Masarap mabola,minsan. Kahit alam nyo na. Haha.)

6. YEA Pro-ballers earn a lot in their career. A lot. Talk about being “gifted.” (This one’s from the guys and the girls’ POV.)

5. These guys’ girls get all the courtside seats. And then, other people check them out too! Instant “celebrity” status. Liga level, or Pro-ball level.

4. Pro-basketball players, are likely to have career shifts sooner or later. Paras went on to be a comedian. Jason Webb, is still reporting courtside. Look at Artadi. Ngayon pa lang, guest dancer na sa ASAP. Who says walang future sa sports?! Think again. And oh, don’t forget SENATOR Jaworski.

3. These guys got some swag. Irresistible. Head-turning, brain-tickling swag.

2. Pro-basketball players, CAN be really sweet and malambing and all that to their partners/ gfs/ wives. (As long as it lasts anyway. Or as long as they’re not busted! As Mo Twister said in one of his show, “Pero basketball player yan eh!”) So here are a few examples… (of the good stories anyway.)  

 Example: Gabe Norwood and his beautiful wife. This guy’s really sweet. In twitter as I see it, at the very least. Example number 2: Vince Hizon and Patricia Bermudez. Who can forget his live proposal to her?  Example 3. Rich Alvarez and Kyla: Did anyone else see his proposal on SOP a few weeks back?

AND finally on number 1...

  Basketball is the Philippines’ favorite sport. Basketball players are everywhere. So it’s a matter of choosing between the tambays and the ‘serious’ hoops players.

 I’d go for the one who’s got game too, again, liga or pro-ball level. AT LEAST hindi kalakihan ang tiyan :)
