Stanley Pringle is grateful of his PBA beginnings after finally winning the championship as a major contributor of Barangay Ginebra San Miguel’s title run in the Governors’ Cup.

Pringle said his 4 1/2-year stint with the GlobalPort/NorthPort Batang Pier franchise gave him the opportunity to not only blossom as one of the league’s best players but also play an integral role in Ginebra’s victory over Meralco in the just-concluded Finals.

“Just playing with them at NorthPort the whole time really helped me grow in areas of my game,” Pringle said of his 4 1/2-year stint with the Batang Pier.

“I was definitely one of the scorers there, just like I am at Ginebra, just the fast-paced speed at NorthPort helped me get to Ginebra and kinda spark the fastbreak over there so that was definitely big,” added Pringle.

The speedy guard was the Batang Pier’s top overall pick in the 2014 Draft, eventually Rookie of the Year honors while forming a backcourt tandem with Terrence Romeo.
