We already know June Mar Fajardo is the G.O.A.T. in Philippine basketball. With seven MVP titles under his belt, a spot on the Gilas Pilipinas national team, and nine PBA championships, he’s basically a legend in the game.
But here’s the real gem from this champ of a baller: his advice to all the young hoopers and future legends in the Philippines—stay humble!
During his speech accepting his 7th PBA MVP award, June Mar dropped some truth nuggets:
“Sa mga batang gusto makaabot sa PBA, at kahit sa NBA, magtrabaho lang kayo, magpraktis ng mabuti, makinig kayo sa mga coaches… dapat coachable kayo at huwag niyo isipin na masyadong magaling na tayo,” he said.
