Ahanmisi’s Impact on the Court

Maverick Ahanmisi played a crucial role in Ginebra’s sweep of Meralco in the quarterfinals. His efforts on both ends of the court, especially his offensive rebounds, assists, steals, and crucial shots, were instrumental in the team’s success. Fans have taken notice of his hustle and dedication, recognizing him as a key reason for the team’s advancement to the semifinals.

Despite facing harsh criticism earlier in the season, where some even suggested he should be traded, Ahanmisi has proven his worth to Ginebra. His growth as a player, particularly in handling pressure situations, has won over fans who once doubted him. His performance has been a game-changer, showing that he has learned from past struggles and is now delivering when it matters most.

Ginebra’s Semifinal Journey

As Ginebra secured their spot in the semifinals, the team revived a long-standing tradition—the pre-departure selfie. This time, it was Joe Devance, a veteran player, who led the tradition, in the absence of retired team icon Mark Caguioa. The moment was captured and shared by Jared Dillinger on social media, where the players reminisced about the old days when Caguioa would lead the tradition.

Mark Caguioa’s Absence Felt

Caguioa, affectionately known as “MC47” by fans, was a beloved figure in the Ginebra squad. His absence has been felt not only by the team but also by the fans who miss his leadership on and off the court. In Dillinger’s Instagram post, Caguioa himself commented, expressing how much he misses his teammates and the camaraderie they once shared.

While Ginebra moves forward without Caguioa, his legacy continues to inspire the team and its loyal supporters. The bond he created with his teammates and fans alike remains strong, even in his retirement.

Looking Ahead

As Ginebra prepares for the semifinals, all eyes will be on Maverick Ahanmisi and his ability to maintain his high level of performance. His resilience and newfound confidence have become an essential part of Ginebra’s journey this season. Fans are hopeful that his contributions, along with the collective efforts of the team, will lead to another successful run in the PBA.

For now, Ginebra’s loyal fanbase continues to rally behind their team, excited for what lies ahead in the next stage of the competition.
