I broke the news to my son Xavier long before the advertisements for this game came out. I told him also that I’m tagging him along with me to watch the game and see his favorite PBA player live in flesh. Over the weekend he asked me again of the play date of the basketball game and he kept counting the remaining sleeps until that Saturday comes. I’m sure he would be proud of this experience and I can imagine how he would tell his friends of this special basketball event. Afterall, he too loves basketball, and should I say the James in his first name (Xavier Angelo James) was inspired by the Le Bron James himself while he was starting his basketball career at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.
The Ateneo de Naga University Golden Knights and the University of Nueva Caceres Greyhounds will figure in an exhibition game prior to the main event. These two schools have been fierce basketball rivals since time immemorial. The firepower that these teams will be starting on a Saturday afternoon will surely set the stage for bigger explosions in the feature game. James Yap’s guns will surely come blazing, hot enough to torch the newly installed baskets of the dome. For Air21 Express, I’m pretty sure that their villainous coach Yeng Guiao will have some black surprises up his sleeves. For now, let’s just enjoy the wait and hope that the games and all the hypes will meet our expectations. Then snow will fall from the heavens and every fan will sing a Christmas song.
