The legendary Robert ‘Sonny’ Jaworski Sr. will be honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award when the men and women who regularly covers the PBA beat celebrates its 30th Annual Awards Night on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at the Novotel Manila Araneta City.
The PBA Press Corps pays homage to one of the greatest players ever in the history of Asia’s pioneering pro league.
The iconic playing-coach was widely regarded as the most popular player ever in the league whose good looks and charisma combined with his playing ability and innate leadership had endeared him to the basketball-loving Filipinos. Hailed the 1978 MVP, the tough playing guard won a total of 13 championships both as player and coach from 1975 to 1997 and remained until today as the only player ever to suit up in a game at the age of 50.
After a decorated career with Toyota, the Filipino Olympian found his niche with Gilbey’s Gin where he eventually gave rise to the now fabled ‘Never Say Die’ mantra of the franchise.
