Great to see Norman Black. One of my favorite basketball players.

[@anonymousprime8632]

Very humble person in and out of the court

[@h.j.victory6103]

One of the most intelligent and effective players to play and coach in the PBA

[@burleylien2263]

Norman Black, Bobby Parks, Seam Chambers, Billy Ray Bates. My favorites !

[@collinsuaybaguio6053]

Jamie waller

[@fertinbulhoes2802]

Norman Black one of the best,simple,quiet, pba import had.

[@PsyphaX09]

This guy has made hismark in this country, one of the most recognizable faces here.

[@joshuacanicosa1179]

Ang humble naman pala ni coach norman 😊

[@JasonInocencio23]

Hey ABS-CBN Sports, when Coach Norman mentioned Carlos Briggs, why did you show Rob Williams of Tanduay instead? I'm sure there are photos of Briggs somewhere.

[@manofwisdom2023]

Agree. Briggs Bates Tony Harris The most successful though after being a PBA import was Chip Engleland. NBA's shooting guru, asst coach of the Spurs.

[@erwinjoseph1600]

Carl Bird of the Royal Tru Orange in the 70's, Billy Ray Bates and Tony Harris were probably the best imports ever to play in the PBA.

[@collinsuaybaguio6053]

Art long and terq mott

[@eddiedeleon2425]

during the Pesta Sukan time, its Dave Regullano a guy wearing black low cut shoes guarded Sir Shing Dong pa of Korea and Masatomo Taniguchi of Japan to me its the best guard ... plus Ed Ocampo my apology if i misspelled your name Sir ... Sir Norman Black is always remember for his smiles thanks a lot

[@h.j.victory6103]

Rob Williams was one of my favorite imports...

[@collinsuaybaguio6053]

Jose slaughter of hills bros coffee

[@skydance_ritmo1421]

76 points period

[@justme9844]

Yeah, he was not the best import ever played in the PBA but this guy ended up as the most successful and yeah, productive of all

[@ubeman401]

Harris, Bates, Parks, Black, Hackett, Shouse, Briggs, Strothers, Massey, Thirdkill, Chambers and now Brownlee.

[@ubeman401]

Michael Young, Willie Bland and Dwight Anderson should be on the best lists too.

[@crisdeguzman7669]

Love this kind of interview. Bates black superman briggs the red machine winston crite of presto.

[@collinsuaybaguio6053]

Cory blackwell

[@arnecruz]

Many great imports in past. McDonald, Duerod, Thirdkill, Rob Williams, Andy Fields, Sky King, Snake Jones to name a few.

[@collinsuaybaguio6053]

Winston crite and ennis whatley

[@gloriar8487]

Briggs!!!... He scored 62 points per game!!! I remember him in anejo Rum!! Actually he's here in Florida assistant coach

[@Nya48506]

Went to JUCO (Schoolcraft) with Carlos. He was the man on campus. He played two years at Schoolcraft and transferred to Baylor.

Fred reynolds

[@bangus19]

sakin nung 2000 si TONY LANG ibang klase ung threat niya sa sa shaded lane higit sa scoring ..julius nwuso grab rebounds bang bodies.....ray tutt super scorer buhat nya ang team kahit hindi malakas line up ng red bull....sean chambers alaska ..team player all around guard shooting small forward laru nya..rossell ellis sa alaska ang mr.everything para sakin hustle dive sa loose ball banggaan sa rebound

[@grgprincipe]

I admire him more as a coach!

[@hoodieboy1515]

what else do you want? Admire him as your love? HAHAHAHA. of course coach sya

[@hoodieboy1515]

I need to research Norman Black playing now. wow. He said his stats for his last year before retiring were 33 pts and 19 rebounds per game? Videogame stats ah

[@raizenrainbautista]

I agree!

[@h.j.victory6103]

Norman Black to me is the most intelligent, fundamentally sound, most well rounded import of all time. But my favorite import would be Rob Williams of Tanduay.

[@aivszkho7414]

For me mga inabutan kong import na bumilib ako will be James Penny, Tee Mc Clary, Marquin Chandler. mga early 2000's 😊

[@kayejara1578]

Lamont Strothers

[@crimdell]

Strothers and I graduated from the same university and I watched his college career. Even though he attended a very small school he was drafted into the NBA. In college he played every game of his career, over 120 games in a row, without ever scoring less than 10 points in a game. That's a record that will probably never be broken. Basically, at that level he was unstoppable. I live in the Philippines now with my wife and our Fil-Am sons so Lamont was always interesting to me. I also recall reading somewhere that he really embraced his life in the Philippines and the Filipino people. If you remember more about him I'd love it if you wanted to share.

[@mironlang]

Why show the picture of Rob Williams while discussing Carlos Briggs?
