On the early morning of July 10, 2021, I woke up—from an all too brief sleep—and stepped right into one of those Jerry Maguire mania-like writing moments. It started with a question.
”Time to redesign the website.”
“Now? It’s like two in the morning?”
“No time like the present.”
A slight moment of hesitancy follows…
“Ok…”
In the 1996 Jerry Maguire movie, Tom Cruise’ character crunches out a 25-page mission statement called “The Things We Think and Do Not Say.” Not only did Cruise finish the said mission statement, he even had enough time to walk over to a nearby Kinko’s (Was it Kinko’s? I can’t remember.) and have several copies printed, bound, and stuffed into his contemporaries respective hotel mailboxes.
To be honest, my redesign timeline was nowhere near the productive pace of the fictional Jerry Maguire, but I got it done. Give-or-take 2 1/2 days.
Do look around and tell me what you think.

Tonight’s Hoop Coaches International Webinar at 8:00 pm will feature current 76ers assistant coach John Bryant.

Note: Originally published in my old blog back in July 12, 2012.
After several months of preparation, PBA legend Ricardo “Ricky” Brown returned to the Philippines for the first time in almost 22 years in order to reconnect with his local fans as well as to be recognized by the league as a PBA Hall of Famer and one of its 25 Greatest Players.
With the exception of a single game—his last in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA)—I never really had the opportunity to truly appreciate the basketball talents of Ricky Brown.
But it was memorable and one that I can still remember to this day.
The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) 1990’-91’ Season
As I write this, it is hard to believe that my love affair with the game of basketball began 22 long years ago. I was about 13 at that time and had started to fervently follow Asia’s first play-for-pay league, the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
From what I can recall of that 1990’-91’ season, the league was coming off the 1989 Grand Slam of the San Miguel Beer (SMB) franchise—a team accomplishes a “Grand Slam” if they are able to win all three conference championships in a single season—and that there were high expectations that the club would defend all of their titles that coming season.
However, with SMB players comprising one-third of the all-professional Philippine national basketball team sent to compete in the Beijing Asian Games that September, the club had to make do without a number of their mainstays.
That was, until another member of their championship squad returned from the United States during the PBA’s Third Conference—Ricardo Brown.
As a basketball and PBA neophyte, I knew very little of the man known to many as “The Quick Brown Fox.” But with the help of very informative pre-game videos from Vintage Sports—the PBA’s television coverage partner at that time—I would come to know Brown as a decorated player with a high basketball IQ.
And in his return game, it seemed like he didn’t miss a beat despite the long layoff.
Again from memory, he scored 25 points and connected on 5 three-point shots that late afternoon. I also think he finished with about 7 assists.
