We will never run out of excellent point guards. Robert Jaworski, Francis Arnaiz, Bernie Fabiosa, Hector Calma, Ronnie Magsanoc, Dindo Pumaren, Johnny Abarrientos, Olsen Racela, Jayjay Helterbrand, Mike Cortez, Alex Cabagnot, Ryan Reyes, Jayson Castro and LA Tenorio are some of the biggest names that played the role of playmaker. Then, there’s the younger batch of premier court generals like Jvee Casio, Paul Lee, Mark Barroca, Terrence Romeo, Baser Amer and Jio Jalalon. All are exceptionally talented and proven winners in the sport of basketball. To name one of them as the greatest Filipino point guard in history would surelystir up much debate. But there’s hardly any dispute that Jimmy Alapag is one of a kind.
