ANOTHER trophy is bound to find its way into June Mar Fajardo’s cabinet.
The three-time reigning Most Valuable Player is expected to be named as the Best Player of the Conference in the ongoing 2017 Philippine Basketball Association Philippine Cup.
After leading San Miguel Beer to the finals and putting it in a great spot to defend its crown, Fajardo is head and shoulders above everyone else in the Best Player race, where he has far superior statistics.
With this impending BPC win, Fajardo is set to have his fifth citation as he is bound to tie mentor and former teammate Danny Ildefonso for the most number of the said recognition in league history.
Still, the humble giant plays down yet another personal accomplishment as his eyes are on the bigger prize at the moment.
“Hindi ko muna iniisip ‘yan (BPC Award). Ang focus ko lang is matulungan ang team ko na makapag-champion muna,” said Fajardo.
Other contenders for the BPC award are the Gin Kings’ Japeth Aguilar and LA Tenorio, Fajardo’s teammate Arwind Santos and GlobalPort’s Terrence Romeo.
However, none of them are close to giving Fajardo a run for his money.
The naming of the BPC will be held prior to the start of Game 4 this Friday.
