I only really enjoyed watching NorthPort back when Romeo and Pringle were playing together. They were such a solid duo, but for me it was Romeo who really stood out on that team. That was his prime, so many killer ISO moves, and he even carried that flair into international competition.
Even though Romeo never won a title with NorthPort, I still think that was the best journey of his career.
Agree to that, both him and Pringle showcase their talents and really shine high during their time with NP, though they failed to reached the finals but both TR7 and Pringle really impress their fans and that's actual reason why interest from big teams came up and acquired them, TR7 went to TNT and then trade his way to SMB while Pringle was sent to Gin kings and both wins their titles.
That was back when the PBA was still really fun to watch. Sure, SMB was dominating during that time, but Romeo and Pringle were just entertaining to see on the court.
I started following Romeo because of his impressive performances in international competitions, back when Castro was still young - “The Blur,” the best PG in Asia.
TR7 shine high during his Gilas time especially when coach Tab is the one who's leading the team, he got his exposure and he did not disappoint the fans, not only here in our country but also those international fans who really impressed with his performance, but after that Gilas brawl that's the beginning of his downfall, and we don't know now if what will be his plan since his contract already expired or almost expired with Terrafima.
New owner means new managements not sure if they are willing to throw decent amount of money to be more competitive during their stay, or just the same that will go with the flow.
Let’s just hope for the best, it’s getting tiring to always see the same top teams in the finals. Who knows, maybe this NorthPort team can turn into a strong contender like Converge. I think they’ve got the potential to compete.
Agree, hope to see a independent team to compete during the finals, we always see SMC and MVP franchise competing for the title.
