Japeth Aguilar Not Signing With Burger King | Patay Ang Butiki.com

taken from http://www.patayangbutiki.com


Rick Olivares of Bleachers Brew reports that talks between PBA #1 pick Japeth Aguilar and Burger King have fallen apart. Aguilar's managers, broadcaster Ronnie Nathanielsz and father Peter Aguilar, are said to prefer him playing for the Smart Gilas Developmental Team.

Burger King is not going to like this, pretty much wasting the top pick in the draft on a player they won't see in their jersey for at least a few years, if ever.

Did Brandon Jennings Make The Right Move?

Brandon Jennings is the latest prep-to-pros star. Yep, you heard me right, prep-to-pros...not just in the NBA. Brandon Jennings decided to skip college and go pro in Europe. As many of you know, the NBA doesn't allow high school players to go straight to the NBA without "attending" at least a year of college. So Brandon Jennings decided to take his game to Europe.

It remains to be seen whether or not Jennings made a good decision. But it seems that he did. Instead of playing against "kids" in the NCAA, Jennings will be bangin' with professionals who have bodies of professionals. One thing Jennings will have to develop sooner than later is his body. He needs to put up some mass if he wants to keep up with the big boys in the Euro league.

One more thing that Jennings will learn in Europe is how to play team ball. The NBA "one-on-one" style would not be able to win you games in Europe. If Jennings could adapt this style of play, he will be able to compete with point guards such as Steve Nash, Deron Williams, and Chris Paul. Jennings will be able to run a team smoothly, which is one quality teams are looking for right now.

A quality point guard has been a hot commodity right now in the NBA and Jennings might be the next hot stuff for the 2009 Draft.

Gilbert Arenas Will Represent Himself

According to the Washington Times, Gilbert Arenas will represent himself in free agent negotiations. This means that Arenas will be talking with teams himself when time comes to sign a new contract. Arenas will also save some money since the agent's fee will be going to his pockets now.

Arenas is now officially a free agent since he opted out of his contract.

Old School Michael Jordan Shoes

In the mid-80's, Shoe Manufacturer Nike made a special shoe for a young, up-and-coming superstar named Michael Jordan and called it the Air jordan. These "Old School MichaelJordan Shoes" of today were probably the biggest rubber shoes fad of that time. These shoes were so big that it evolved into a sub brand today -- The Jordan Brand.
