Of Favorite Basketball Teams
People love to have favorites, and maybe more importantly, like to attach themselves to a “group”. Both of these yearnings fuse with regard to people’s fascination with sports teams. And having been born into a basketball-crazy family in a basketball-crazy country, I’m afflicted with this wonderful curse called “frenzied basketball team loyalty”.
People who know me also know the usual suspects — I’m a Purefoods fan in the national league of the Philippines, a Chicago Bulls loyalist in the NBA, and an avid supporter of the UP Fighting Maroons in the collegiate league. But how about in the other basketball leagues, let’s say, the defunct MBA?
For that and more, I guide you to my article on Basketball Exchange Philippines. And if you’re a hoops fanatic like me, do share your own favorite teams in the article’s feedback section!

my root for the same team in the PBA, Purefoods. i’ve been a fan since they first entered the league, during the Jojo Lastimosa, Jerry Codinera & Alvin Patrimonio era. the best rivalry was with the Ginebra team. before i left the Philippines, my favorite player in the team was James Yap.

Fellow Purefoods fan!
The rivalry I remember most fondly is the one with the Alaska Milkmen (before they became the sleek Aces, hehe). And James Yap fan here, too.
