Barangay Ginebra to change its Import Herbert Hill ?
Perennial crowd favorites Barangay Ginebra San Miguel may be the first team this conference to change imports after Herbert Hill had an underwhelming debut in the Commissioner’s Cup.
In a report on the PBA website, Snow Badua said Ginebra is looking at five different players to replace Hill, who scored 17 points in the Kings’ 70-74 loss to Air21 last February 10.
In his column for The Philippine Star Tuesday, Joaquin Henson speculated that Hill may be the import “with the least chance of surviving” in the ongoing conference.

Dubai Basketball Tournament 2013: Smart Gilas Philippines vs Mouttahed Tripoli Full Video Replay
The Philippine national team Smart Gilas stormed back from a 0-11 start to the game and then came up with plucky defensive play on the very last possession, to steal a 79-77 win over Mouttahed Tripoli, Friday (early Saturday, PHL time) at the Al Ahli gym in Dubai, in their first assignment of the Dubai Invitational Basketball tournament.
The national squad, comprised mostly of newcomers from the cadet team, started out shakily, conceding an 11-0 start to the Lebanese team, but they eventually found their groove, snatching a 41-40 lead at the break thanks to some hot shooting by Meralco Bolt Ronjay Buenafe, who scored 10 by the break.
Beat Your Toughest Opponent! It’s #YouVsYourself
Novak Djokovic for Tennis, Manny
Pacquiao for Boxing, Rory Mcllroy for Golf and Lebron James for Basketball -
these men are the currently no.1 in their respective sports. But they became
no.1 not in just a blink of an eye. They undergo hard trainings that sculpt
them to be better each day…to beat their personal records each day because they
believe that BEING GREAT IS REACHED BY BEATING
YOUR TOUGHEST OPPONENT: YOURSELF.
So just like Professional Basketball
Player, JC Intal, he always makes
sure to go through hard trainings with his teammates everyday and go to the gym
to stay fit and have an active lifestyle. Because for JC, training is very
important as he needs to be good in defending, in dribbling as well as in
shooting - things that JC needs to be the best in his field.
