Standhardinger, ‘di makapaniwala sa BPC Award

IKINATUWA ni Northport big man Christian Standhardinger ang sorpresang pagkapanalo nya ng Best Player of the Conference award para sa 2019 PBA Governors Cup.

Ngunit ayon sa Fil-German na si Standhardinger, mas masaya sana sya kung nagwagi ang kanilang koponan ng championship.

Ganunpaman, nagpapasalamat pa rin sya sa kanyang pagkapanalo ng nasabing karangalan.

“A championship is so much more than a personal award. Ten out of ten times, I’d exchange it for one championship,” ayon sa 2-time PBA champion.

“But that doesn’t take away the fact that I am really honored to get this award, and thank you to everybody involved, starting from the coaches, my family, from the people that I surrounded myself and that I love.”

Ayon pa kay Standhardinger, ni hindi nya naisip na magwawagi sya ng 2019 PBA Governors’ Cup’s top individual award kaya naman nasorpresa sya nang igawad ito sa kanya noong Miyerkules bago ang Game Four ng Finals series ng Barangay Ginebra at Meralco.

“This is completely unexpected. I was surprised that I was even nominated, to be honest with you.”

Tinalo ng 30-anyos na forward para sa nasabing award sina June Mar Fajardo, Jayson Castro, CJ Perez at Kiefer Ravena.

“It was completely unexpected and really surprised that I got that, but I’m honored and I appreciate it,”ani Standhardinger.

Ibinahagi niya rin sa kanyang mga kakampi at coach ang nasabing award.

“I feel like this is more of a team award than it is anything else, and I’m really just thankful to my coach in NorthPort (Pido Jarencio) and to my teammates that it worked out.”
