Japeth Aguilar provided one highlight after another for Barangay Ginebra San Miguel on Wednesday against Air 21, blocking eight shots and finishing several rim-rattling dunks.
He finished with 22 points and 12 rebounds and left his opponents a little starstruck.
“I have to tell the other guys to help me out to stop him. They’re enjoying watching him do those dunks,” said veteran Air 21 center Asi Taulava. “I have to tell them quit watching, it’s not film. He’s our opponent.”
The 40-year-old slotman, who played with Aguilar in the national team in the past, noted the huge improvement in the athletic forward’s psyche.
“He’s NBA material. A big guy who can run, block shots, making those dunks,” said Taulava. “His confidence is through the roof.”
For now, Aguilar is plying his wares in the PBA, and Taulava figures he will be a big headache for just about any team.
“We just have to figure out (how to play) against him. We cannot let him roam around the paint like that and block shots.”
