The wrappers have been torn off and the ribbons ripped. Among the many gifts they received this Christmas, what thrilled Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) players probably the most?
Ginebra’s Jared Dillinger said it was cryptocurrency video games.
“I’ve been getting a number of Web3 video games. I’ve been playing them so much currently so I’d say that’s one among the good ones I’ve been getting … It’s like cryptocurrency video games. Consider Call of Duty, Fortnite, except Web3 gives you digital ownership,” explained a jolly Dillinger before the Gin Kings’ 86-78 win over TNT on Monday.
“I got like 50, so I’m playing all of them. It’s going to be the following revolution.”
After the sport, TNT standouts found reason to wear smiles on their faces despite the loss, especially Calvin Oftana, who revealed that he gave himself a Christmas present.
“I purchased a PS5 and I liked it since it’s for myself,” said the San Beda product, finding good cheer despite the defeat.
That cheer appeared to have worked for him contained in the court, as well, as he finished with 27 points within the TNT loss.
Concert tickets
Tropang Giga coach Jojo Lastimosa also had a reason to smile for the vacations.
“This yr, I believe the gift from our daughter was the perfect. She gave me and my wife concert tickets to James Taylor,” Lastimosa said.
Christmas is all about giving and receiving, so when San Miguel’s Terrence Romeo was asked about what he’s thankful for, he talked about with the ability to give back to the league’s fans on Christmas Day.
“That is our gift to the PBA, San Miguel and Phoenix fans. I’m sure Phoenix [players] sacrificed because as an alternative of celebrating with their family, they played us so that is our gift for all of them,” said Romeo after ending with 22 points within the team’s 117-96 win over the Fuel Masters.
