MVP Parks Has Something To Prove.

Bobby Ray Parks is the first UAAP MVP to come from NU. He's also the first to come from a non-Final Four team.

And that seems to be enough for people to question whether he deserves to be the UAAP MVP.

The young Parks hears all the questions and criticisms but says he prefers to let his actions speak for him. Parks aims to improve his game over the year-long break and prove to one and all that his MVP title is well-deserved.

Paul Lee Leads RoS To Victory!

Not bad for a rookie.

Paul Lee made his presence felt in his PBA debut by scoring 21 points and dishing out 8 assists as he propelled the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters into a victory over the Baranggay Ginebra Gin Kings.

Lee came off the bench in the first half and immediately changed the complexion of the game, scoring 10 quick points and getting 2 assists. His quickness and strength took the Gin Kings by surprise, as neither Mark Caguioa nor Mike Cortez could stop the young spitfire.

Lee would have been the Number 1 pick of the recent PBA Draft had Gilas stalwart JV Casio not come out. But, as luck would have it, Casio did declare for the draft, which made Lee available to the Elasto painters at Pick Number 2.

Which we may have to amend to Pick 1A.
