I was fortunate to have witnessed Gec Chia’s shot against UE live. I thank the Lord for the chance to scream my head off inside Araneta again courtesy of the game-winning play by Doug Kramer/Norman Black against UST yesterday.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent pics from Fabilioh.com photographer extraordinaire Aaron Vicencio:

Play of the Year in Philippine basketball. Nuff said.

Doug Kramer after hitting the winning basket.

Passion. Yet another reason why I love the Ateneo.

Got this quote from a greenie blog:

It was a perfect basketball moment if I ever saw one: Macky Escalona makes a perfect inbound pass to a waiting, unnoticed Doug Kramer, who was standing underneath the basket, and Kramer makes the winning shot. In one second.

Now, UST may or may not force a Game 3 this Thursday, and either of the teams can still win the championship. But I envy Ateneo that second, and I know for sure the beauty of that moment, especially for those watching the game live and most especially for those who were actually in the game, will last a long, long time.

Amen :)
