Muntinlupa Cagers’ John Amores aims to alter perceptions as he enters the PBA Season 48 Rookie Draft this Sunday at Market! Market! in Taguig City.
The former Jose Rizal University Heavy Bombers forward acknowledges that he cannot influence people’s opinions about him. However, he is determined to demonstrate personal growth if any of the 12 PBA teams give him a chance.
The 24-year-old Amores sparked controversy when he was involved in a punching incident during his tenure with the Heavy Bombers in an NCAA game against the College of St. Benilde Blazers last year.
“‘Yung nangyari sa akin, nasa utak na ng tao ‘yun. Tingin ko, hindi na mawawala ‘yun,” said the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League forward. “Hindi na mawawala sa tao ‘yun, lalo na sa mga fans. Nandiyan na ‘yun.”
“Sa mga nakakaintindi lang, ‘yung mga basketball players, ‘yun pa rin ‘yung nakakaintindi sa akin. Pero sa akin, wala na eh. Alam ko naman sa sarili ko na ‘yung mga nagawa ko, pinagsisihan ko na ‘yun. Kailangan ko rin itama ‘yun. Eto na ‘yun,” he added.
If given a chance in the PBA, Amores expressed his willingness to be a valuable addition by addressing any areas of need for the team that selects him.
“Sana mapunan ko ‘yung kung ano pagkukulang ng team nila. Siguro magfo-focus ako sa depensa. Although nandiyan ‘yung offense, nandoon pa rin ‘yung mas kailangan i-improve, kailangan ko mag-double effort kasi ‘yun ang hindi mo mawo-work ‘yun kasi nasa sarili mo na ‘yung sipag at tiyaga,” said Amores.
