13 championships in 22 years, the last team who got a Grandslam, the only PBA team who uses triangle. These are the traits of the team led by Tim Cone. His team is always competitive, Since '96 Alaska is my most hated team because for me, this team is the "contrapelo" of Ginebra.
It's so frustrating to see the last second play of this team. Abbarientos, Lastimosa, Miller, Tenorio, and even Baguio, why these players are clutch?
But even though I hate this team, I admire Coach Cone, he's discipline to his team(2 decades) is definitely one of a kind. His team is always known as the team with a system, it looks beautiful for a basketball fan like me to watch this team execute their plays, it likes an orchestra led by a popular musician.
BUT today was a sad day not only for the Alaska Management and fans, but for all PBA fans, especially the chance that coach Tim will go to SMC, seeing him not in Alaska's bench is like seeing Manny Pacquiao naturalized as an American. That thing will really broke the hearts of Alaska loyalists. Until now I just can't imagine how will that works, but that's the sad thing about life, change is the only permanent thing.
Goodbye for now Coach Tim. See you again.
