Samboy Lim rocks the socks

Watching the PBA's "Greatest Game" on TV right now. I can't believe Samboy Lim, who's still out there doing his daredevil drives and diving on the floor for looseballs. How can you not love the guy? Not only was he wearing his patented knee-high socks and eating alive the defense of Jojo Lastimosa, who was always Samboy's favorite snack back in those SMB-Purefoods duels in the late '90s.

Of course, Jolas is the fourth-quarter man, so he promptly hit a big three for his team's go-ahead basket. I guess these things never change. There was Benjie kicking the ball out to Ronnie (Magsanoooc, threeee poiiiints!!!), Ato Agustin hogging the ball, Allan Caidic posting up smaller guards, and of course, Alvin and Jerry sharing the same front court, perhaps for the last time ever. Allan Caidic won the MVP for Baby Dalupan's team, after which his counterpart Robert Jaworski joked in the post-game interview, "Ah, pinagbigyan lang namin sila."

(Bonus joke: Sinong baby ang matanda? Eh di si Baby Dalupan. Nyehhh!)

Cool game. Will post pictures from the Galera trip tomorrow.
