Alvin Patrimonio Thread

[ricodgame]

Eric Menk once says that he idolizes Alvin Patrimonio.

A prime Patrimonio can Post up against a prime Marlou Aquino.

during the MVP season of Benjie Paras(99), eventhough Shell won the championship in the 1st conference. Patrimonio is the only Local who went toe to toe against the Fil Ams when it comes to scoring and rebounding, well I believe when the fake Al Segovia came to his team, that was the start of his downfall..

I actually saw him more as a Kevin McHale type of PF, especially his footwork and up-and-under. Also famous for the one-handed "kalawit" rebound.

There was a time when Alvin would dunk in games.

I remember there were three players in that Kaypee commercial: Patrimonio, Paras and Magsanoc(?). If I'm not mistaken, the comercial ended up with something like, "put yourself in their shoes."

That duo also played alongside the likes of Cabahug and Al Solis, "The Bullet" Dindo Pumaren and Jack Tanuan.

Cabahug and Solis were good outside shooters. The late Jack Tanuan was a serviceable PBA center for the Swift Mighty Meaty while Dindon Pumaren was one of the better Point Guards in the 1990's.

Solis and Tanuan transferred to Swift during the 1991 preseason. The story was that Swift was hell-bent to solidify its lineup by targeting the top notch players of Purefoods, its main corporate rival at that time.

Jack got another tour of duty at Purefoods when the team traded its rookie pick Chris Jackson to SLR. They need at backup center in 1995.

When the late Jack was suffering from his disease, Cap was one of the first to help him.

In 1994 Cabahug left Purefoods because of bitter contract dispute. Pepsi got him.

Dindo followed suit because he wanted to play for his manong. But he returned to Purefoods.

Unfornately, he never got to enjoy those millions after he retired.

can you elaborate on this? alvin sent his daughters to spain for tennis training (that would surely cost a lot).

Patrimonio stoppers:

Teng, Dignadice, Eric Reyes, Cheng, Abuda, Jackson

The most effective would be Chris Jackson.

Even the combination of Menk and Alvarado was no match for Alvin during the final years of his career.

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.

alvin still holds the record on must consecutive games played in the PBA....500+ games i think...

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

[rski56]

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?!"

yes i agree but i also would like to include bong hawkins and poch in the list
