Four-time PBA MVP winner and now Philippine Sports Commissioner Ramon Fernandez believes the Philippine men’s basketball team under many-time champion coach Tim Cone is unbeatable.

“He (Cone) knows what it takes to win in the Southeast Asian Games. It can be done with an all-pro lineup and even with a mixture of collegiate stars,” said Fernandez.

Even Fernandez himself knows the thrill and joy of winning a medal for the country so he’s backing the campaign of the all-PBA players in the SEA Games.

In 1990 Asian Games in Beijing, Fernandez was part of the all-PBA team under Robert Jaworski that won a silver medal.

The men’s basketball competition will be held on Dec. 1 to 10 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City with Fernandez expected to lead the nation in cheering for the PH cagers.
