Rivalries rekindled as retired PBA stars mix it up

LOS ANGELES, California—Classic rivalries were rekindled and history revisited as retired PBA stars took the hard court once again recently, playing a series of exhibition games for a cause.



The PBA Legends Grand Reunion Tour and Dream Series was a smash hit
among Filipino fans in
Northern California
over the weekend.
Hundreds of fans had to be turned away from the
Union City
venue
because of fire code regulations. Organizers are expecting a heavier
fan turnout in LA and
San Diego

Tim Coloso, Francis Arnaiz, Robert "JAWO" Jaworski, Mon Fernandez, Abe King, Ruffy Ignacio and Rino Salazar at San Diego-Peterson Gym - PBA Legends Tour's final game. Ohana Harbor Coffee-Team Jaworski (Toyota) beat Martin Purefoods (Crispa)  94-86.


To PBA Legends USA Foundation:

 The PBA Legends Reunion Tour  was a huge success. I don't know how you did it, but you definitely  put everyone in their feet to see the very first reunion of the legends.
It was great seeing the oldies can still run court-to-court to show their old &great; moves.

I grew up watching these guys do battle in hardcourt action. I
shouted  loud like the boxing match of Pacquiao and Marques last night.

 Your idea to put them all together isn't that easy,I know. Brillant timing to  reunify. You were respectedly honored by one of the stars to acknowledge what  you did for them. It was like seeing my old classmates for long time we never had.

 In fact those stars, they don't just play before but also become mortal enemy,  things are all personal. Tabloids,insulting remarks,low blow hitting...di ba?

 Well, all I can say is you are the PIONEERs of this unforgettable
event. I  was wondering how did u really pull this one out.
Its like putting jabar,chamberlain, jordan etc. In one table to eat.

 Again CONGRATULATIONs!!!

Abe King Jr. Chairman of the Board

Dear Prospective Patrons of the PBA Legends USA Foundation,
Greetings !
This is to request your financial and in-kind support to the proposed charitable and educational programs of our Foundation that we are launching for the less-endowed citizens, the poorest of the poor, in the Philippines, as follows:

"Let us share a small fraction of our blessings with our kababayan"




 
More Power to the Legends!
Caloy Prieto - 12/19/2007
Here's wishing the PBA Legends USA Foundation the best for its success in pursuing its goals and endeavors. I almost fell off my chair when I read about its upcoming exhibition games in California with the big guns coming. It brought me back to those unforgettable days of Crispa-Toyota championships in a smoke filled and jampacked Araneta Coliseum with that distinct smell of vinyl upholstery which up to now fills my nostrils. As I promised Abe, I will be there for the Southern California games with Raffy Mejia and we are offerring our services as sportscasters for our contribution to give the games an original and authentic '70s flavor.
This is truly an affair to attend and forever cherish as we go towards the twilight years of our lives where we have more years behind us than ahead. More power to you, Legends
