Raymund Almazan Cannot Help But Compare His Two Championship Titles

Meralco Bolts resident slotman Raymond Alamazan was there when Meralco suffered the 2019 and 2021 Governors’ Cup Finals heartbreaks against Ginebra. After winning the 2024 Philippine Cup crown a few months ago, he admits that everything is worth the wait and pain.

After the title series, Almazan gave frontcourt partner Cliff Hodge big hug as confetti fell on them after Meralco lorded over the San Miguel Beermen in six gruelling games.

The Flag Baring Show's Aaron Black Interview

Last June 2024, the second episode of "The Flag Baring Show" featured the PBA 2021 Rookie of the Year Aaron Black in a very comprehensive interview. The member of the 2024 All-Filipino Cup champion Meralco Bolts shared about he's navigated life as the son of a PBA great, the issues he faced during his Ateneo career and with former coach Tab Baldwin, how he nearly went to UP, and his thoughts on the state of the PBA.

It should be noted that the show's host, Colin Salao and Black grew up together in Ateneo, so some of the things that Black revealed can be confirmed by the host.

Aaron Black Knows It's All About Hard Work

If you have resources available at your disposal, then you use it to get what you want. That's seems to be the clear mantra of Aaron Black when he pursued a career in basketball and joined the Meralco Bolts team. Anything and everything Aaron Black has right now, former Bolts coach and dad Norman had a hand in it.

However, if anybody thinks that is an easy way to becoming a star player, then Black will dispute that. He knows what it takes. He's adamant about it. Even though many don't see the same.

Any Chance That The Bolts Can Sign Terrence Jones?

Terrence Jones was signed by the TNT KaTropa of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) as the team's import for the 2019 PBA Commissioner's Cup. In his PBA debut for the TNT Katropa, Jones recorded 41 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists in almost 37 minutes of playing time in a win over the NLEX Road Warriors.

However, Jones fell short of winning the title, conceding the championship in six games against the Chris McCullough-led San Miguel Beermen. But in terms of individually achievements, Jones did claim the title of Best Import in that same conference, dethroning Justin Brownlee in the process.
