I used to watch the PBA a lot back in its heyday. Any PBA fan worth his/her salt would know that before Fil-Ams, there were just Filipinos, and imports from Stateside.
One of the most prolific imports of his day was Bobby Parks, who wore number 22 for the Shell franchise. As with most ballers, his son has gone on to follow in his footsteps.
Enter Bobby Ray Parks, forward/guard for the National University Bulldogs.
This lefty striker has an all-around game akin to a scorer par-excellence. For this humble analyst, this kid's ready for the big time- now. With a more consistent jumper, riper shot selection, and better defense, Parks could be set for a lengthy career in the pros. His uncanny ability to get to the foul line (5 out of 14 contests wherein he attempted more than 10 charity shots) has made him an offensive monster.
Yours truly's pick for MVP has been Adamson's Alex Nuyles since weeks upon weeks ago, but with Parks, what we have, in my eyes, is a very strong (albeit slightly one-dimensional) silver medalist.
NU's going to contend next year. Best that the other school's look over their shoulders this early, lest they be bitten by the Bulldogs' seemingly unlimited potential.
