Where are they now? The PBA 2008 Fiesta Conference champions Barangay Ginebra Kings

Where are they now? The PBA 2008 Fiesta Conference champions Barangay Ginebra Kings
February 22, 2013 2:42pm

With Barangay Ginebra San Miguel currently 0-3 in the Commissioner's Cup, it's interesting to note that the last time the team won a PBA crown was in 2008, during the Fiesta Conference, which also allowed for imports of unlimited height.

Five years later, we take a look back at that squad, and take in all the changes that the team has made. How many players from that squad are still part of the Barangay? How many have retired or moved on to other teams? Who's calling the shots from the bench?

And perhaps, looking at how that team was assembled, can tell us a thing or two about what this Ginebra squad currently lacks.

Sayang talaga si Tubid... hays.. pinakawalan lang nila..

ang daming nawala ...............

ang daming nawala iilan lang ang natira.. sayng yung iba..

ungas talaga si noli eala binigay si tubid ngayon nasa petron na gagong eala ginago ang team natin... oust noli eala

Marami nang nawala.. May mga naiwan but 1 nlang ang effective, may mga ipinalit.. Kaso prang wala nmn puso kung maglaro. Isa lang ang nsa injured list pero di tau manalo. Mas ok pa yung 3 o 4 ang injured kc alam mo kaya nainjured eh nakikipagpatayan sa laro pra lang manalo.

asan na sila ayon sunday salvacion just take the bolts winning shot, dati nyang ginagawa sa ginebra ginagawa nya na ngayon sa iba. ewan ko ba bakit ibinigay ang mga player na dating nakatulong para makuha ang last championship, gaya ni sunday, macapagal, tubid, reavis, adducul, menk d b wala na sila ngayon. noli eala ang may kagagawan ng pagkawala nila. parang ayaw nya na magchampion ang ginebra for the last 2 years ano lng ba ang nagchampion bukod sa TNT, d b BMEG lng at PETRON, asan ang GINEBRA? d b wala... NOLI EALA WALANG GINAWANG MABUTI SA GINEBRA...

i trade na ang dapat i trade, sana maibalik sa atin si john wilson...
i trade si kerby kapalit si jr. reyes, elmer and rob for mandani, then baracael for john wilson habang maaga pa i trade na si baracel hanggang may mataas pa ang value kasi kita naman na hindi sya kursinada gamitin ni coach al...
kung ako lang masusunod mas gusto ko makuha ulet natin si john wilson tapos sya na ang maging go to guy for SF position.. at least meron tayo defensive specialist and 3pt shot specialist as well... hindi pwede sumugal kay ellis pang showtime lang ang player na to...

madami ako nababasa na mag tiwala lang sa team, NEVER SAY DIE ika nga nila...
eh pusang gala ano pinagsasabi nila never say die eh isang player lang sa team ang may ganyan attitude yun iba wala na puro may daga sa mga dibdib.. sa totoo lang nakakasawa na talaga panoorin ang ginebra ilan taon na tayo nag titiis at umaasa sa never say die na yan, at nag hahangad na makukuha ulet ng ginebra ang championship, pero kahit pilit tayong umaasa at naniniwala sa NSD na yan pero patuloy naman sinisira at pinipigilan gumanda ang takbo ng team natin, oo yun taong wala nang ginawa kung hindi SIRAIN ang lineup ng ginebra kada conference at kada taon, wala nang ginawa kundi mag trade ng mag trade eh ang mga player naman na kinukuha walang pusong NSD, hayyysss.... na miss ko talaga ang dati lineup ng ginebra balanse balanse...

you know what the team is lacking?! A GOOD SYSTEM that can accomodate all the skills of the players.. Yeah, we've been on a trade but all this players is HIGH CALIBER.. meaning they can easily ADJUST to the NEW ENVIRONMENT just like in GILAS TEAM.. Baket pag laging nakakalaban ng ibang team ang Ginebra lagi nilang sinasabi "THERE'S NO "I" ON OUR TEAM" WHY?! Kasi its pretty obvious that our FREEWHEELING SYSTEM is only design for a one or two man show..

Hope Chua cud make a BETTER PLAY for all the players.. We have lots of talents on our bench. Make them VISIBLE.. Give them the COURAGE by PUSHING THEM HARD on the floor. Make them feel that they belong to this team, that they can also contribute/score

if we will stick with the current system FREEWHEELING di na muna ako aasa Pero di ibig sabihin nun DI AKO LOYAL GINEBRA FAN. Mahal ko ang Ginebra kaya ko nasasabi ito.. Kahit nga parents mo pag me nakikita sayong mali pinagsasabihan ka dba

ako rin di rin ako aasang magchachampion sila ngaun ........... habang nandian sina eala at ang smb coaching staff at lagi ang ginebra nasa trades .........

^ Yung nasa TEAM naten NGAYON sila yung pumapatay saten noon. Pero ngayon nasa team naten sila baket di naten malubos? Di naten magamit ng mabute?!

kumbaga sa pagkain .......... hanggang TAKAW MATA lang ang ginebra ......... hindi alam ng coaching staff kung pano gamitin ng maayos sila .........

exactly! tapos 2nd conference saka pa tayo nagpalit ng coach.. Worst, stagnant ng ilang taon.. Ending eto.. Adjustments na sa players tapos adjustments din sa coach.. Ayan! Blackeye ang abot!

Where are they now? sabi nga ni admin ge nagsspace jam pa daw except si MC, 4 straight games 20+ ginagawa
