Just thought I'd mention it...
Alvin Patrimonio announced his retirement from Philippine basketball last night, on his 38th birthday. He stayed just long enough to pass the torch to the new guys. It's about time too, since it's widely believed that he's been playing with a knee injury for the last six years, and he has never been quite the same.He won four MVP trophies, scored 15,000 points, grabbed more than 5,000 rebounds, and was Kris Aquino's first celebrity boyfriend. Oh, and he got his nickname stolen from him by now-Senator Bong Revilla.
His last outing was a game against FedEx (starring ex-buddy Jerry Codinera) a couple of weeks ago, which Jem and I actually saw live. I'm saving the ticket stubs from that one.
