BACOLOD, Philippines – An imposing force down low, San Miguel ace June Mar Fajardo has also shown glimpses that he can do damage from long range.That will be put to the test as the 6-foot-10 giant headlines the Three-Point Shootout for bigs in the PBA All-Star Weekend side event at the University of St. La Salle gym here on Saturday, March 23.
He has more than doubled his three-point production from last season, which saw Fajardo attempt just 5 three-pointers across 46 games.On Saturday, though, Fajardo can only rely on his sweet stroke as he goes up against a formidable field of opponents that includes Phoenix’s Jason Perkins, Rain or Shine’s Santi Santillan, and Meralco’s Raymond Almazan.
Also competing are Ginebra’s Ralph Cu, Blackwater’s Christian David, Converge’s Keith Zaldivar, Magnolia’s James Laput, NLEX’s Dave Marcelo, NorthPort’s JM Calma, Terrafirma’s Isaac Go, and TNT’s Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser. The PBA introduced a Three-Point Shootout for bigs as a replacement for the Slam Dunk Contest, which the league scrapped no thanks to the injuries of its participants.Delfin Dioquino dreamt of being a PBA player, but he did not have the skills to make it. So he pursued the next best thing to being an athlete – to write about them. He took up journalism at the University of Santo Tomas and joined Rappler as soon as he graduated in 2017.
