[Title] => An early X’Mas gift
[Summary] => Christmas came early for San Beda College basketball player Riego Meinardo (Bam-Bam) Gamalinda this year.
Gamalinda, 19, was one of four San Beda players who flew to Portland to visit the Adidas headquarters, hang out with Trail Blazers sophomore guard Sebastian Telfair and watch a National Basketball Association regular season game during a recent whirlwind three-day trip.

[Title] => Ewing still a snob
[Summary] => PORTLAND, Oregon–You’d think that Pat Ewing, now retired from playing in the National Basketball Association (NBA) the last three years, has mellowed and is more accommodating to fans.
Not by a long shot.
The big snob is still a big snob.
A Houston assistant coach, Ewing didn’t raise a sweat and just sat on the bench as the Rockets bowled over the Portland Trail Blazers, 100-86, at the Rose Garden here Sunday night.

[Title] => Tough grind for Telfair
[Summary] => PORTLAND, Oregon — Nobody ever said it was going to be easy and Portland Trail Blazers sophomore Sebastian Telfair is living proof that an undersized high school graduate with no college experience has to overachieve to make it big in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Telfair, 20, is a six-foot, 160-pound point guard who went straight from Lincoln High School in New York to the NBA last year. No doubt, the kid is talented but in the rough-and-tumble world of the NBA where giants lord it over, it’s an uphill climb for Bassy to stardom.

[Title] => Telfair stays humble in millionaires row
[Summary] => PORTLAND, Oregon — It’s not often you come across a multi-millionaire athlete like Sebastian Telfair whose feet remain firmly on the ground despite a blossoming National Basketball Association (NBA) career that’s supported by footwear giant Adidas.
Telfair, 20, finished several hours of hard practice early Saturday afternoon and instead of rushing home to rest, kept his promise to meet the San Beda College team on a visit here for winning the Adidas Asian Streetball finals this year.

[Title] => Telfair aware of Pinoys’ passion for hoops
[Summary] => Portland Trail Blazers guard Sebastian Telfair yesterday said before coming to Manila, he was made aware of the Filipinos’ passion for hoops by friends who played in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
Telfair, who is here on a five-day visit for Adidas, said Portland teammate Richie Frahm and New York City playground legend Lenny Cooke told him about basketball’s popularity here and how Filipinos love the game.

[Title] => It’s J. R., not Josh
[Summary] => From one Smith to another and another.
At first, it was reported that Joe Smith would visit Manila with Houston Rockets star Tracy McGrady and Portland Trail Blazers guard Sebastian Telfair to grace the Adidas Asian Streetball Finals in September.
Not correct, said Adidas sports marketing manager Goody Custodio. It’s Josh, not Joe, Smith who’s "flying" in. That’s the Smith who mesmerized NBA fans all over the world by capturing the Slam Dunk title at the All-Star Weekend in Denver last February.

[Title] => It’s Josh not Joe
[Summary] => National Basketball Association (NBA) slam dunk champion Josh Smith of the Atlanta Hawks is coming to town with Houston Rockets star Tracy McGrady and Portland Trail Blazers guard Sebastian Telfair to grace Adidas Asian Streetball Finals in September.
That’s Josh, not Joe. It was earlier reported that Joe would be in the tour group.
The awesome threesome should make quite an impact. McGrady had a choice of which countries to visit during the NBA summer break and picked the Philippines. He was here with Tim Thomas five years ago and obviously, liked what he saw.

[Summary] => Northern Luzon eliminations champ University of Sto. Tomas (UST), starring pint-sized point guard Irene Cahilig, whipped NCR victor Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), 17-14, to grab the women’s crown during the National Finals of the Adidas Streetball Challenge 2002 staged recently at SM City-Cebu.
The 5-foot flat Cahilig, who earned the monicker "Little Iverson"in the tournament, overcame her height deficit and exploded for nine big points to power the Golden Tigresses to the title.
