The Collison Encounter

A few weeks ago I wrote a short piece for Seattle Weekly's basketball blog, which later made it into the front of the print product. It's about my Basket List -- the roster of professional or otherwise noteworthy ballers who I've played with or against over the years -- and the day that Seattle Supersonic Nick Collison showed up at a pick-up game and landed on my list. Of course, if I had included all the well-known basketball figures in Philippine basketball I've had the good fortune to play with, my list would be five times longer. The only problem there is that no one outside of the Philippines will be impressed when I boast, "I played with Alvin Patrimonio!"

Here's a link to the Seattle Weekly Basket List blog. Enjoy.
