Again this was about 3 months ago and I have to say, finding information about Teo Cruz was really difficult; even normally easy information like Teo's height, weight, date of birth are really difficult to find ... not to mention trying to find some articles and summaries of his playing days. Please do send some more info about Teofilo (and if you guys have any more information about any other players, I would love to have it), and if you have a picture of him; that would be great.

Help with Information re: Teofilo "Teo" Cruz
I was recently contacted by Teo Cruz's granddaughter searching for information and images of her father. She has registered for the site and have encouraged her to post her requests on the forum. I figure I would get the thread going... I hope that the Puerto Rican members here (or anyone else) can give the information she is searching for.

im searching, all I have found was a list of awards where he was named as an MVP of the puertorrican league and a defensive player of the year award winner.
the problem to get info on teo cruz...
teo cruz was a basketball player, played center for and in Puerto Rico
one of the greatest basketball stars we have had in our history
considered a top 3 player in our basketball history alongside with Piculin Ortiz and Raymond Dalmau
played in 5 olympics
there was a dominican boxer named teo cruz, who died on a plane crash in Puerto Rico. I think he was boxing champion, currently, there is a dominican arena to his name
cruz is a very common surname
teo can be confused by search engines with tego, a hip-hop and reggaeton artist from Puerto Rico, which is pretty much in the prime of his career.
teo cruz, the basketball players died like 1 or 2 years ago.
I posted a pic on the suggestion forum
I am supposed to be studyingsigpic

Teo cruz is my grandfather and although he has passed there are many things i still long to know of him and maybe through this website it will help me.I understand you also need help in finding information on him and i will do all i can to help you also. Incase you didnt know he stood 6'8 at 220 pounds.Had three children (2 boys and 1 girl) and the list continues.If interested just write me and let me know.
yes teo cruz did pass away a year ago around this time and i feel that is why i have suddenly become very sad and why thoughts of him are racing through my head.I dont know much about his basketball career but i have a sudden urge to "find him" although he's no longer here. I know its strange but i just wnat to know something,anything as to why im searching for him and i suppose when i find it, I can stop.Until then.......Last edited by stuart; 09-14-2006, 04:19 PM.

Hi, I hear there are nice people here so maybe someone can help me.?
If been already on this forum for almost one year ago because I was looking for the family of a friend of me. who is also the son of teó cruz. and I found them. He also went to visit them in Puerto Rico. So thanks for all the people who helped me.
Now I am searching for something else. Exctually I am searching for a jersey from Teo cruz. but I think that's almost impossible and probably to expensive. so if I can find a jersey from the national puertorican team or from santurce I will be very happy. for me it's very difficult to find because I live in belgium but maybe some of you guys now a place or site where I can find it or order it ????
thanks a lot already
and tievon 2004: are you the daughter of stephen?
you've been great. now my friend finally found his family.

Hi,
I "knew" Teo Cruz. Great free throw shooter. We used to do free throw competition and he beat us all badly. He coached me in Arecibo with Bill Mcadney in the novice tournament. It's a shame that the BSNPR did not recognized Him as he deserved when he was alive.
BTW I collect basketball games on video and I am looking for games of BSN or national team from that era (70'). This is my trading website http://candelaria.50megs.com

I live in belgium and there's a small chance that we are related because the father of my father is Teofilo Cruz and lives in Puerto Rico. My father never got the chance to met his father.My father never knew his father was a basketball hero, but since he was 5 years old he started to play basketball and he's 40 years old now.My father went to Puerto Rico a few years ago and he has met his sister Susan and his brothers. He is also going to visit his father's grave and monument where he Teofilo Cruz is pictured on. Excuse me but i don't write english very wel
Is it true that youre family of Suzan?
