hahaha! This is funny "I guess I'd rather run too..... if I was just standing there looking all handsome". Exactly man. James should havepicked someone his own size at least...
 
good point! he did start it. and if it were me, i'd make the kick worth it! give him a whopping roundhouse kick, not just a lame-#** half-hearted kick.
 
James Yap should've thank Peek for holding on to leather

This reminds me of the Carmelo incident hehe

IT IS harvest time after a fruitful campaign this season for the Sta. Lucia Realtors.


Kelly Williams and Ryan Reyes, as expected, captured the 33rd PBA season's highest individual honors in Wednesday's Leo Awards at the Araneta Coliseum.

Before the opening of Game 4 of the 2008 PBA Smart Fiesta Conference championship series between the Air21 Express and the Ginebra Gin Kings, the 6-foot-7 Williams, 26, received the Most Valuable Player (MVP) trophy.

Rookie Ryan Reyes, on the other hand, earned the 2008 Rookie of the Year honor after besting Coca-Cola's Ronjay Buenafe and Welcoat's Joe De Vance.

Williams, who drove the Sta. Lucia Realtors to their first-ever Philippine Cup crown this season, garnered totaled 2,762 points to Arwind Santos' 1,775 and Jayjay Helterbrand's 1,158 and it is widely believed the 6-foot-6 Fil-Am truly deserves the citation.

"It's been an awesome year and winning the MVP is the icing on the cake," said Williams, wearing a brown Barong Tagalog, brown pants and white sneakers.

The fourth Fil-Am player to win the MVP after Ricky Brown, Asi Taulava and Eric Menk, Williams said it felt great winning the award but he stressed "my main purpose is to honor God and help my team grow."

The points were based from final statistics and votes cast by the media, players, television coveror and the PBA, plus his statistical points.

The reigning slam dunk champion averaged 18.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks in 53 games.

Philippine Cup champion Sta. Lucia Realty had the most number of players to win an award with Williams, Reyes and Omolon going home with five honors among themselves.

Air21, Ginebra and Alaska had two awardees each while Coca-Cola, Talk n Text and Red Bull had one apiece.

"It's a bountiful harvest for us after all these years. It's harvest time and I think it's about time. It's the most rewarding season for the team," said Sta. Lucia govenor Buddy Encarnado.

Williams, Santos and Helterbrand were automatically voted into the Mythical First Team along with Coca-Coca's Asi Taulava and Ginebra's Mark Caguioa.

Alaska's Willie Miller, the only guard to have won the MVP trophy twice, led the Second Team along with teammate Sonny Thoss, Red Bull's Cyrus Baguio, Purefoods' Kerby Raymundo and SLR's Bitoy Omolon.

Baguio copped the Most Improved Player plum.

Williams, Santos, Reyes, Purefoods' Marc Pingris and Air21's Wynne Arboleda made up the All-Defensive Team with Talk N Text's Ali Peek the unanimous choice for the Sportsmanship award.

Purefoods TJ Giants' Noy Castillo hangsjersey

THERE will be no more golden finish for the man known as The Golden Boy.

Noy Castillo, one of Purefoods' most trusted veterans, has decided to call it quits after 10 years of playing in the Philippine Basketball Association.

Castillo's decision to retire was confirmed by Purefoods board governor Rene Pardo in a text message to Standard Today.

The 6-0 guard was taken in by Purefoods after playing one season for the Shell Turbochargers.

The sweet-shooting Castillo quickly provided the team's weakness on the perimeter game as he blended well with some of the team's mainstays thatincluded Alvin Patrimonio, Jerry Codiñera and Rey Evangelista.

He was a member of the Purefoods champion team of 2005-2006 Philippine Cup and part of the RP team that competed in the Busan Asian Games handled by JongUichico.

Castillo's decision to hang his jersey came barely a month after another veteran-Evangelista-also called it quits.

"They (Castillo and Evangelista) have been a major part of the team and helped the squad to become what it is now. They are good professionals and nevergave us problems in their long years of service," said Pardo.

Former Purefoods coach Eric Altamirano also had memorable moments handling both players.

"Noy is one of my best clutch shooters while Rey was instrumental in helping me win my first championship," said Altamirano.

Evangelista is reportedly being considered to become a member of the team's coaching staff where he is expected to share his knowledge on the defensiveend.

good luck to Noy and Rey on their retirement and the possibilities of being a coach, asst. coach, trainer, basketball analyst, commentator and etc!
