Things are going to be different for Jimmy Alapag as he plays the role of trying to help prevent his former team TNT KaTropa from winning a championship as an assistant coach of the San Miguel Beermen.
The PBA Commissioner’s Cup Finals set Sunday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum will see Alapag on the other side of the fence as a member of Leo Austria’s coaching staff instead of the familiar role of captaining TNT to numerous titles as a player.Alapag led TNT to six championships and won another during a short stint as team manager to cement his status as arguably the greatest player in franchise history.
“We had a lot of great memories there in my almost 13 years there with six championships. I’m still very close to the guys on that team — Harvey , Jayson , Ryan , Kelly . Been through a lot of wars on the court and been through a lot together off the court. So those guys are family to me,” he added.
