brgy ginebra kings

    It was all heart that made the Brgy. Ginebra Kings named as champion in the Smart PBA Fiesta Conference 2008. Ginebra didn’t won that easy because even when they were 13-0 before they got to finals, Air 21 proved to them that they are a championship contender. The series got to a "do or die" situation, a 3-3 wins a piece. Ginebra has a lot of struggles during the series but the most crucial was when Helterbrand got injured in the Game 2 and Caguioa is not playing his 100% because of knee problems. But it was Menk, Alexander, Tubid and Artadi who shine in the remaining games. They’ve given their best and they have reap what they saw. For the Air 21, obviously it was a sad ending because they were ahead in the series 3-2 but they were outplayed by the crowd favorite Ginebra to forced a game 7 and win all the way.

    It was a very entertaining, crucial, dramatic and very physical series. As I can remember there was once that Valenzuela of Ginebra kicked out in the game due to flagrant fouls. After all that have happen they still have shown their sportsmanship as they shake hands after each game. In the awarding ceremony Menk and Tubid was named as the finals MVP. Congratulations Brgy. Ginebra Kings!
