EXPECT fireworks when the PBA Board convenes today for a special meeting to decide
whether Chito Narvasa will stay as commissioner.
The meeting is set to start at 8 a.m. at the league offices in Libis, Quezon City, with all 12
members expected to be present.
A long, arduous discussion is expected, with Narvasa’s backers reportedly ready to defend
him by asking for a vote of confidence, which requires eight votes.
“The process should drag on,” noted one governor who requested anonymity, pointing out the
question would center on whether it’s simply renewal or a case of firing.
According to Al Panlilio, Meralco’s representative to the PBA Board, the best interest of the
league is the primary consideration.
“We are all thinking about what’s best for the league and his performance the last two years as commissioner would be gauged,” Panlilio told Malaya-Business Insight yesterday.
Narvasa came under heavy for approving the controversial trade between Kia and San
Miguel Beer, viewed as too lopsided. The trade gave the already loaded Beermen the rights
to the Picanto’s top pick overall, which was used to tab Fil-German Christian Standhardinger. In return, Kia got some role players and a future draft pick.

Eric Cray’s sister Erica wants tryout Phi Basketball Team
October 14, 2016
It was three years ago that Eric Cray first approached me via Pinoyathletics.info to assist him the rest is history. He went onto become SEA Games Champion three times, and made the Semi Finals of Olympics in 400 Hurdles as well as making a bronze at World Indoors in 60 Meters.
As well as battering ramming the National Record from 51.26 to 48.98. You can read an extract here on my story with Eric Cray, which will be soon part of my new book.
“Behind Closed Doors: The Roar of the Athlete”
Me and Eric faced a lot of obstacles and barriers. But we were able to overcome them. I never regret helping him while I was in a high position in the PSC. And both of us were so blessed with the individuals who helped us along the way in particular Jolly Gomez, Philip Juico and Jim Lafferty come to mind.
Now I want to back another person I have utmost faith in and believe could be a good asset to Philippine Sport. Erica Cray the older sister of Eric. I believe she at least deserves a chance to tryout for the National Team in Basketball. Good genes clearly run in this family.

Allen Iverson Seen Begging for Change Outside Atlanta’s Lenox Mall
“I don’t even have money for a cheeseburger,” said Iverson.
Troubled former NBA basketball player Allen Iverson was seen begging for change outside of Lenox Mall in Atlanta. Several mall patrons reported a man with a disheveled appearance harassing them for change.
When security arrived, they were shocked to see it was none other than basketball legend Allen Iverson. Iverson was asked to leave the premises by mall security.
Jason Seaworth, who works security at the mall, says it was very difficult for him to ask Iverson to leave as he was one of his childhood heroes. “One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do was asking my hero to leave the mall. It was very sad to see him in such a bad place. I really hope he gets his life together and somehow returns to prominence,” Seaworth stated.
