Ratliffe says Fajardo ‘best Asian player’ he’s ever faced
June Mar Fajardo is a man of many achievements having amassed three MVPs, five Best Player of the Conference trophies and countless other accolades.
On Friday, the jovial giant may have gotten one more, though this time it didn’t come with a piece of hardware.
Fajardo has earned the admiration and respect of Star’s bruising import Ricardo Ratliffe, who described him as the “best Asian basketball player” he’s ever faced.
Ratliffe would, as if on cue, always bump his fists with Fajardo every time the San Miguel center steps on the court.
“I just got a lot of respect for him, I said earlier that he’s the best Asian I’ve ever played against,” said Ratliffe after his Hotshots lost to Fajardo’s Beermen, 109-102, in the semifinals of the PBA Commissioner’s Cup.
“I played with some of the best players in the world in different countries so he’s definitely the best player I’ve ever faced against in Asia.”
