Do you like Jolas the TV guy?

October 20, 2012 by Benjie Cruz · Leave a Comment

No, I hate his conyo accent (27%)
Yes, he knows the game very well (26%)
No, diction needs improvement (17%)
No… “but then again” (17%)
Yes, I like his honest opinions (10%)
Yes, I love his sexy voice (3%)

Total Votes: 105

The poll votes don’t favor Jojo Lastimosa but you see the bold answer? That’s my answer. Yes, I like his honest opinions. Ok forget about the accent but with his style of honest talk, knowledge of the game and PBA history, he’s gaining some fans as a TV guy, yours truly included. And maybe if we’ll redo this poll after year, we may see a turnaround in opinions.

By the way, I wrote the most FB-recommended post of all time, and in the world, and it has Jolas notes, click here. Excerpts below…

You know Jolas was a great player because many hated him during his heydays. Being a Ginebra fan, I for one hated him – 1998 up to the last juice of that Alaska 90’s core. (Ok, some uber-dangerous fouls he committed against Samboy Lim added to the fire). But then again, I so love him now! Jolas was the key player of Alaska in the early 90s but it was in the mid-90s when the core peaked. That’s when he got close to winning the MVP award. In 1996, the year when Alaska scored a grand slam, there was a race among mates Johnny Abarrientos, Bong Hawkins and Jolas, plus Alvin and Marlou Aquino too. The award eventually went to the Flying A. But then again (“but then again” – Jolas’ fave line), his teammates and his fans (and I) look at him as a player worthy of the MVP trophy.

Kobe, Lebron and the rest of USA team, are they unbeatable?

August 1, 2012 by Benjie Cruz · Leave a Comment

With Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant & LeBron James, is this US Basketball team unbeatable in the 2012 Olympics?

YES (81 votes)
NO (19 votes)

81 voted yes, they are unbeatable. So far, they are. In 2 won games (they blasted France and as expected, trashed Tunisia), the average winning margin is 37 points. This differential will go down as the competition heats up and top teams advance. After another “practice game” versus Nigeria, level of play goes up their last two preliminary games, Lithuania and Argentina. But I can’t see them losing a game in these games. USA can survive off night by multiple players and we will see other stars and reserves picking up the slack. And besides, their mean defense doesn’t allow easy shots, 2^nd chance attempts, etc. In other words, they are in complete control. Only super hot 3 point shooting by opposing team and super bad games from 4-5 USA players can result in a big upset. And, I can’t see that happening.
