Alvin Patrimonio and Benjie Paras Shoot Hoops With Today's PBA Stars in This New Video

No true '90s Filipino basketball discussion is complete without Alvin Patrimonio and Benjie Paras. They were two of the most dominant players of the decade.

Best remembered for donning the Purefoods and Shell threads, respectively, these two once-in-a-generation talents changed the game in different ways. Patrimonio won five championships while Paras got himself four. Both were named Most Valuable Player once in their storied Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) careers.

Since retiring from the league in the early 2000s, The Captain and the Tower of Power are rarely seen on the courts these days, albeit, of course, during All-Star Weekend and some charity celebrity games. Recently, though, the two linked up to shoot some hoops with some of the PBA's newest stars for this ANTA Philippines campaign.
