The only thing i can say about alvin patrimonio is his poor lay-up ability...a certified PBA and patrimonio fan would agree with me

reyes and cheng? i don't think so.
you should include ramon fernandez and abe king, two of the most dreaded defensive players.

I think he dunked in one of those youtube links I gave.
We can attribute the longetivity of his career to his "safety first" style of play. He doesn't do too many layups or dunks. I think he was the PBA iron man at one point.

You can also add the fact that he was able to adjust and add more to his arsenal as he got older. I remember when I was still in grade school, he was more of a post player. In the latter part of his career (aka the Fil-Am invasion), he became more perimeter oriented.

I think Patrimonio's favorite dunk is the 2-handed reverse dunk

I remember a dunk attempt wherein he was so frustrated with Jackson's defence that he tried to slam it in Jackson's face. The dunk rimmed out. I said to myself "he can do that?!"

locsin?
he can't defend alvin during his prime...maybe towards the end of alvin's career when he became a jump shooter.

After Alvin retired, power forwards have become taller, stronger and more athletic. Someone has yet to match his skill set. His skill/style was ahead of its time.

i agree with you. it's really unfortunate that a player as talented as Alvin was doomed to play all his life in the PBA.
Please translate for the rest of us. No need to insult the whole league either, ASB.

im a huge fan of patrimonio. all im saying's that if only the PBA was not as lame as it's always been, patrimonio with all that talent would've achieved even greater heights. he could have been our version of fadi el khatib.

I agree with you sir, i always watched Patrimonios game since his college days he gives 100% in every game the way he plays does not describe his true height
