PBA All-Star: Tim Cone seeks revenge in Davao del Sur

Cone's team during the event backed by Peak Sports Apparel and PBA RUSH-Cignal are Ginebra player Scottie Thompson, the Magnolia trio of Mark Barroca, Peter June Simon, and Jio Jalalon, along with Blackwater big man Mac Belo.

The rest of Cone's unit include Baser Amer, Cyrus Baguio, Sonny Thoss, Rafi Reavis, Poy Erram, RR Garcia, and Carlo Lastimosa.

The Mindanao selection though, will have its hands full against the PH team bannered by June Mar Fajardo, Japeth Aguilar, Troy Rosario, Calvin Abueva, and Terrence Romeo.

Completing the cast of coach Chot Reyes are Carl Bryan Cruz, Gabe Norwood, Allein Maliksi, Matthew Wright, Roger Pogoy, Jayson Castro, and rookie Kiefer Ravena.

It was Abueva and Romeo who sparked the national team's comeback against Visayas in last year's All-Star as the duo finished with 26 and 25 points, respectively.

In particular, Cone mentioned Abueva as the national's energizer that made the come from behind win possible.

"The guy that really hurt us in the proper time was Calvin. He had a big stretch in the third quarter when he turned the game around for us. We didn't have a good matchup for him and he got himself going," noted Cone back then.

Fans in Davao will also get an added treat during the game as the league will be holding a special three-point shootout featuring three celebrated personalities from Mindanao in tandem with three PBA Legends.

Special Assistant to the President Bong Go teams up with inaugural three-point champion Allan Caidic, lawyer and Presidential son-inlaw Mans Carpio will partnered with Simon, while Senator and boxing icon Manny Pacquiao shoots alongside Kenneth Duremdes.
