Teng after finally playing against Cardona: Idol pa rin kita

Many times during the game, both Cardona and Teng found themselves guarding each other one-on-one, almost creating a nirvana for any fans of the storied La Salle basketball program. Richard Esguerra, ABS-CBN Sports.

In an unlikely setting, the past met the present and future as Mac Cardona went toe-to-toe with Jeron Teng in the 2017 PBA D-League Foundation Cup.

During an otherwise boring matchup between Flying V and Zark's Tuesday, the most interesting subplot was most definitely the two former La Salle greats going at it for the first time ever.

Many times during the game, both Cardona and Teng found themselves guarding each other one-on-one, almost creating a nirvana for any fans of the storied La Salle basketball program.

Actually, one of those fans include Jeron, who capped his final season in Taft last year with a UAAP title.

"Coming into this game, I really looked forward to playing against him dahil you know, growing up, he's one of the people I really looked up to especially [during his] La Salle days," Teng told ABS-CBN Sports when asked about Cardona.

Of course, Cardona was the brash and confident leader of the Green Archers in the early 2000s, anchoring La Salle's fierce battles against Arwind Santos and the FEU Tamaraws for the UAAP championship.
