                    [Summary] => New York City playground phenom Lenny Cooke wants to play in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) again. And Los Angeles-based Filipino import recruiter Mike Gonzalez says he’s hoping Purefoods gives the 6-4 hotshot another chance.


Gonzalez says Cookie is willing to fly in without a guaranteed contract. All he’s asking for is a chance to try out, adds Gonzalez. If Cookie fails to impress, he’ll be on the first flight back to the US.
