Balls-Eye: Did Barangay Ginebra Prove Themselves Already After Winning the Championship?

The champions will be the one who’ll stay alive in the bloody battlefield, but some extraordinary warriors survived.

It is Barangay Ginebra once again who remained standing after a very ferocious finals rematch against the Meralco Bolts squad, but did they manage to shut down everyone completely?

Despite winning two consecutive finals series against the hungry Allen Durham and the Meralco Bolts, why does it seem that Brgy Ginebra still is not the most immovable object in the league?

Those were lingering questions right after June Mar Fajardo bagged another MVP award. The Kraken’s just relentless and not leveled to any other player in the league as he managed to snatch the award out of reach of those guys who reached the finals.

So did Barangay Ginebra finally shut down the Kraken? Obviously, no.

They may have defeated the Beermen in the series but they failed to achieve absolute dominance in the league, because if they have overpowered everyone, then more or less one of the players in the team will bag the MVP award.

If there’ll be a guy who can equal the unimaginable firepower inside the gigantic body of Fajardo, well it would be another titanic athlete – Greg Slaughter. Gregzilla’s JuneMar’s biggest and closest matchup in the league – size, style of play and perhaps almost every aspect. Greg Slaughter’s comeback after recovery spelled the difference between their extraordinary to ultimate form. Another main gun that may completely cease the Kraken’s conquering quest is in the hands of Japeth Aguilar.

Why? He’s got the size and athleticism and of these three big men, he perhaps is the best shooter, which is his advantage. Not all guys that big be able to deliver from the perimeter.

Japeth may bring June Mar into a battlefield that’s very uncomfortable for the Kraken.

Ginebra won amazing championships. They already have proven themselves but we are all waiting for them to achieve complete dominance in the league and in this era.

The Kings has the trigger waiting to be clicked to unleash the beasts even more perilous than the Kraken we know.
