ALLAN THE MAN

Andre Iguodala makes an incredible assist behind his back to David Lee for the layup.

The Alaska Aces made a splash in the 2013 PBA Rookie Draft when they picked Ateneo forward Ryan Buenafe with the eighth pick, even though the former Blue Eagles was projected to go in the second round.

Alaska head coach Luigi Trillo said he believes Buenafe can be a good fit for the Aces, especially after watching him practice with his team twice before the draft.

LeBron James is on the verge of another milestone. The Miami Heat forward has scored at least 10 points in 499 consecutive regular-season games and will go for No. 500 on Tuesday night when the two-time defending NBA champions visit the Toronto Raptors.

James, a four-time league MVP, would become only the fifth player in NBA history with that many consecutive games of 10 or more points. Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (with streaks of 787 and 508 games), Michael Jordan (866), Karl Malone (575) and Moses Malone (526) have accomplished the feat.

Just two days after the PBA Rookie draft, San Mig Coffee sent rookie big man Justin Chua to Globalport in exchange for the Batang Pier’s own rookie draftee Isaac Holstein on Tuesday.

San Mig coach Tim Cone confirmed the deal, saying the Mixers had packaged No. 10 pick Chua with Leo Najorda to acquire the rights to Holstein, Globalport's No. 7 pick overall in Sunday's draft.

Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao insists his boxing career is far from over and is planning to show his vintage form when he faces off against American Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios in their November 24 welterweight showdown in Macau.

In an episode of HBO’s “Face Off With Max Kellerman,” Pacquiao expressed his confidence that he can still compete at a high level even though he has lost his two previous fights.
