Magnolia’s Travis gets pat on the back from ‘King' James

Magnolia import Romeo Travis' feat of leading the Hotshots to victory with a career-high 50 points and 13 rebounds on Friday in Antipolo has caught the attention of NBA superstar LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers.

“Headed to the Finals on a 50-piece nugget! Congrats my brother Romeo Travis. Keep going lucky lefty,” James posted on Instagram on Friday night after Magnolia’s 112-108 victory over Barangay Ginebra San Miguel in Game 4 of their best-of-five semifinals series in Season 43 Philippine Basketball Association Governors’ Cup.
