SO, what do you think of former senator Robert Jaworski’s possible return to the Philippine Basketball Association?
Here’s an excerpt from
MANILA, Philippines–Robert Jaworski will be making his much-anticipated return to the Philippine Basketball Association, the league he helped make great, in the next season.
That is, if a greater calling does not get in the way.
The 6-foot Living Legend, one of the finest all-around players this country has ever produced, has resumed talks with Air21 management about a coaching job after the contracts of Bo Perasol and his team were not renewed.
Are you a fan of Jaworski? If he does become the Air21 coach, do you think he still has what it takes to whip the team into shape and steer it to a championship?

Maganda na ang ginagawa ni Coach Bo sa Air21. Obvious naman na for commercial reason lang ang posibleng pagpasok ni Coach Jawo sa team. But as for coaching i want caoch Bo for Air21.

iba na ang basketball ngayon compared b4.mas technical and deep ang system ng bawat team.wala ng magic si jawo.why not alfrancis chua?
bobby tan
Ayos!!! andyan uli si jawo. Kantyawan na naman to laban sa matanda. Exciting!!!! battle of the ages coming up!!!!!!!!!
aldrin
ok ang pagbalik ni jawo sa pba, mas magkakaroon ulit ng buhay ang liga dahil malalaman kung effective pa rin ang style dati sa laro ngayon.

I think its good to have Jawo back. We need something new in the PBA (or in this case old :)). We need bring back some excitement in the league to make the fans want to come back and watch the games again.
I prefer watching the PBA team when they go on tour abroad kasi at least there is unpredictability, which makes the game more exciting.

It’s good he will be back. I will come to Philippines in his first game. See you all!

laos na yan si jawo at d na uubra ang magic nya ngaun. mag-alaga na lang siya ng apo niya..

Jawo had major technical blunders before but that is not his forte. Despite his handicap, his contagious fighting heart put his teams in front.
I doubt though if he will have the same success in promoting a team that the masa cannot relate with. All the gin drinkers established a baranggay and even got him into the Senate.

I see excitment if Jawo face the Barangay Ginebra.. Bo Perasol will be his right hand?
Father
ahhh ok yan old tactics if ppd pa..heheheh un bang pag foul pilayan mo??? yan ang tatak ni jawo,,agree? mas exciting yan

It’s good to hear that Jaworski will be making his return in the PBA soon. This will certainly be a booster of PBA’s number of fans and viewers. But he’s return to Air21 doesn’t guarantee an improvement on Air21’s team development and brand of basketball play. For sure, Jaworski will contribute much to the team, he is not the living legend for nothing.
Goodluck to the Big J on his return!
Let’s get it on!
juday
the return of Sen. Jaworski will be something to watch for sa PBA if ever.
his passion for the game will make the young players of air21 more exciting.
Breakout
Playing coach ba ulit si Jawo? Haha.
onchie dela cruz
si alfrancis chua??? e wala naman nagawa yun sa tanduay o sa sta lucia e. Si Perasol? tagal nadin pinag bigyan yan e. Go JAWORSKI!!!

good for him..maybe he really belongs there not on politics.. sana wag nya gamitin ang pag co coach nya sa pagtakbo sa 2010
roy
with jawo back, mas matindi ang labanan and intensity ng mga games. Every team will try its best. Ang you will see a much more competetive air 21 team. Buhay na naman ang PBA
nextymc
OK yan andyan c jawo….ang daming sikat dyn hinde napasikat ang PBA…pano takot lahat ma injury,,,,,kaya puro pa cute sa court nung panahon nila jawo…..nasa labas na bola hinahabol pa…ngaun wala na kasi iniisip bagong kontrata
gern
Yari na kayo ingat kayo sa mga players nya i’m sure putok ang noo nyo!!!!
boh
tututok ako palagi sa next season..cgurado magaganda mga laban

Jawo has seen his better days both as a player and coach. There are a lot of younger coaches who put a lot of time and effort in studying the game of basketball, for one simple reason, love of the game. If Air21 has other reasons for getting Jawo like commercial considerations, its their prerogative, but its not doing basketball any good. We should move with the times.

Well, it could be for commercial reasons but it could also be that our league needs someone who could show the true passion for winning.
Yah, I know. Believe me, looking back in his long list of games, Jawo really get’s into my nerves whenever he gets too physical with his game. But right now, I think it’s different. I’m sure he has learned valuable lessons through those years that he coached and played in this league. Like the others, I want him back in the league. It’ll be more exciting!
Good luck Coach!
Emmanuel "Rommel" Quines
Hoy Manny Villar,
Anong commercial reason lang ang pagpasok ni Jawo sa Air21. Jawo’s mere presence can bring more excitement in the league. Magsolocite k n lang ng vote para sa SP. Hinati mo pa ang Opposition. Balimbing ka. Hindi ka magiging President sa 2010.Wala kang katulad Manny!
Ariel Sanosa
ang pagbabalik ni jawo ay siguradong may magandang resulta sa liga ng PBA. oo nga’t medyo matagal na siyang nawala pero nadiyan pa rin ang “charisma” ni jawo at sa mga time na wala siya sa PBA ay siguradong “he let him aware of the development of basketball as whole and the PBA league in particular”. there will we change in his coaching approach. WELCOME BACK COACH JAWO.
raeqwest
I am a jaworski fan, he brings intensity to the game, the never-say-die spirit always burns in him, but I kind of question his coaching skills, does he goes to school to learn new trades, does he try to scout other coaches skills, there’s a lot of work for him to do, specially Air 21 is not considered a championship team. He can pull out a miracle, during his Anejo / Ginebra days, but basketball today is science, not just gung-ho style of playing that he used to do.
dey
good luck JAWO! welcome again to PBA!
gaudz
I would like Jaworski to handle the weakest team in the PBA and let’s see if he can make a winner out of teams that have never won a championship.
bigmanmike of NY
JAWORSKI! JAWORSKI! JAWORSKI! JAWORSKI CAN REVIVE THE PBA AND WILL MAKE IT MORE EXCITING THAN EVER.BE A COACH OR A PLAYER..YOU WILL SEE THE INTENSITY,DETERMINATION AND A FIGHTING HEART OF BIG J.NEVER SAY DIE ATTITUDE. GO BIG J! GOODLUCK! NICE MOVE AIR21.LET JAWORSKI FLY YOU TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP!
udel
Ahihihihi! exciting i2! Balik PBA c idol!
Balik nood na rin ako sa PBA! Tagal ko yata d nanood ng PBA, kc umalis c idol!
Welcome Big “J”! give us again an excitement to watch PBA!
karlo
ok..yn babalik si jawo..kc laos na siya sa pulitika tapos talo pa sa eleksyon si dudut kaya since gusto nya mgpalakas ng dating uli para sa 2010 balik PBA siya….pero ok na rin kc kahit di ako fan ni jawo eversince (crispa kc ako) gusto ko excitemnt na dala sa playing court kaysa sa pulitika. I guess sa basketball talaga mas bagay si jawo, player, coach, manager, basat basketbol…malaki nagawa nya para maging popular ang pba at lumakas market value nito..Ang mas excitng ay pg ngharap ang ginebra at team ni jawo…mabawasan kaya fans ng ginebra at lumipat sa team ni jawo..kc maraming fans ng ginebra jaworski loyalists…..yan ang dapat abangan…mas ok nga kung si jawo eh maging coach ng red bull o alaska…..gyera yn…..salamat po at mabuhay ang pba!!!!
trei
he should’ve not leave in the first place. im not a fan of jawo but my nanay loves jawo.
nagaaway kami ni nanay nung naglalaro pa si jawo. BUT, lets face it. right after he left d pba, nagmukhang super trying hard ang buong pba sa paghahatak ng manonood. wlang pwedeng pumalit kay jawo. eala and his gang can now heave a sigh of relief. the heart & soul of pba is comin back, and pba will be back from the dead.
rey webb
JAWO!!!! hirap atang isigaw ang air 21 kumpara sa ginebra “JA WOR SKI na lang kya”…..

Yes! Its a very good news to all PBA FANS all over the world like my family! Our clan “Dumdum” is for Toyota, & Ginebra. My dad & Mom love “Jawo”. Why not as coach & adviser to PBA??? Jawo is a basketball legend & a genius in basketball.
pastor art UK
Si Jawo kahit gumamit ng PBA para pulitika, okay lang! pulitika lang naman lahat iyan di ba? mapa PBA at SENADO??? Di ba bayan???
William
Jaworski is Jaworski, Ginebra is Ginebra Jaworski is Ginebra. I don’t think returning to the PBA via another team is good for the Living Legend. Remember Jordan when he returned the second time not as a bull but as a wizard?
ZENAD
Whatever has been said & done, the big J was and will probably the only biggest single attraction the PBA has ever produced. I remember the time when I was watching with my father those fabled TOYOTA-CRISPA then later GINEBRA-ALASKA/SHELL games…. yes folks… the original “destroyer” is back (sorry to Distrito- tsk.tsk. pity he’s in a US jail) I would say… good for the league, good for the tickets, good for the overall marketing of the PBA and the salvation of all jobs in the present PBA Management Team.
john rambo
ok yan men,,,,go for jawo
MARLETTE
well….it will be fantastic! manonood na naman ako ng PBA! since JAWORSKI left the PBA, hindi na ako nanood pa ulit. boring kasi, puro pa-cute na lang ang mga players. hindi katulad ni JAWO, nandoon lahat ang excitement! he can turn the dome upside down, only by his presence!…this is what i remember him saying to his team…”WHEN THE GOING GETS ROUGH…BE TOUGH!” (balyahan ulit!)….and it becomes my motto too. He will be a very good coach! Number 7 pa rin!….JAWORSKI..JAWORSKI! I can wear my JAWORSKI t-shirt again!
bonnie cainglet
salamat naman at bumalik na ang lolo ko..buhay na buhay na naman ang pba…buhay na naman ang pustahan….peso manalo 100 sa lahat ng kalaban ng air21… joke only.
bonnie cainglet
ayos!!!! bumalik na si idol jawo….maraming na naman cckat na player sa air21….idol kunin natin si michael jordan asst. playing coach natin…
David Navarro
Jaworski was a very good player. A great entertainer.
There were better players in his heydays though and to keep on harping his greatness is uncalled for.
Let him rest on his laurels but let’s give the younger generation a chance to show their wares whether as a player or a coach.
lolo suave
Happy Days are here again !!
It’s JAWO ….. yesterday,
today &
tomorrow ….
doming
aray ko! balik na naman ang balyahan sa pba…
jett nb
No saan nga Ginebra ket saan laengen.
RAMON FERNANDEZ
YES BALIK PBA ANG IDOL KO.. MAY BUHAY NANAMAN ANG PBA. PAG NAN DYAN ANG IDOL KO MASAYA NANAMAN SA PBA IBA TALAGA SI IDOL JAWO WILL NEVER FORGET…
OK GOOD LUCK…..
Wilmer Ong
Sana Kunin ako ni Jawo pang physical trainor, para maturuan ko pano gawin yung “foul-sungo” sa team kc parang si arboleda at homer se palang ang marunong doon..
jerry
i dont think it would be any different if and when jawo comes back to the pba as a coach, though i am a ginebra fan ever since i never saw any difference when he left his coaching job, actually ginebra even became succesful under siot. lastly, i dont think he was really that successful as a coach compared when he was a player.
DI MAKITID
I hope the intensity of Coach Jawo in the court before will still remain once he returns in PBA.. Those technical fouls, taunting referees, boy i missed those days, then suddenly coins flying all over the court, how exciting…
Just a reminder to those three blind mice officials “pretending blind” in the court becareful and be watchful if ever you officiate the game involving the team of Coach Jawo..
You will never forgiven unlike what happened to tenorio in dying seconds game6, referee did not call a contact on that play..
Kuyamatt
Jawo’s comeback will certainly bring back legions of fans in the PBA. Over the years, the PBA has somewhat lost its excitement and bringing back Jawo will be good for the gates and televiewers. As a coach however, I just hope Jawo will be able to adjust to new scientific techniques in strategies since over the years that we has gone, coaching has evolved a lot. Hindi na pwede yung basta run and gun ala ginebra style dati. What I would like to see in his return will be ONE FINAL GAME where Jawo will play and his jersey no. 7 will be retired at last. That will be really be cool!!!
obet b.
Malaking bagay si Jaworski sa mga batang players na si Ranidel de Ocampo, David, Canaleta at Santos. Lalo pa silang gagaling. Championship contender na ang Air 21 nyan. Mabuhay kayo!
obet b.
Magaling naman talaga si Bo Perasol. Kinakapos lang kasi. Pero sana hindi na nila tinanggal si Yancy. At least may lihetemo silang sentro. Magandang panoorin naglalaro ang magkapatid.

Go papa!!!!
Wahoo!!!
myradram103
lagot ang ibang team. ang unang ituturo niyan ay kung paano manggugulang at kung paano pipilayan ang kalaban heehe
jaegran
every seconds counts when our legend Jawo come into the game, your never let your eyes wink, if not.. U missed exciment of the game.OK yan!!puno na naman ang Dome@mabili lahat ang dyaryo!!!back 2 bznes lahat!!
jeu
with Jawo…pinoy became sportminded, starting 6pm iwas muna barkada, mabili ang bola, kinabukasan maging sa opis laging laman ng usapan PBA, syempre…Jawo!!!ganado kang mag trabaho kc…buhay sa isip mo ang basketball.nanjan ang lahat ng challenge sa PBA, connected na yan sa buhay ng mga pinoy pag jan ang idol ng lahat…GO! GO! GO!…Jawo!!!!!
de fan
he is a good player, but not a coach. jawo bring intensity into the game but not strategy and team play. i think as a player he perform for personal glory and not for the benefit of the team. hes not the like of loyzaga or patrimonio who is a leader inside the court jawo is more of a tyrant. as a coach he is still a tyrant dictating with out consideration. genibra wins because they have good players not because they have jawo. if he really loves basketball, at this stage he should have a free basketball summer clinic for kids.
waveman09
Senate’s loss is PBA’s gain!
Jaworski returning to the PBA will always be a good thing to the fans, the players and the league.
Good luck and mabuhay po!
ricky
I am an avid PBA fan but I never liked Jawo,he is tenacious to such extent unsportsmanlike,disrespectful to the ref and players,a gang-ho mentality with the likes of Rudy Distrito under his wings.He acts as if he is the PBA,when Jawo left the PBA has evolved for the better with a clean and professional image.Sana kung babalik si Jawo huwag naman sana nya itong bastosin at salaulain.Time have changed Jawo so should you!!!
sonny de guzman
UE…Meralco….Toyota….ginebra…..anejo….gordons gin…….JAWORSKI FOREVER!!!!!

“O patay na ba yan?? Alisin na yan???”
(was it against Caidic??)

Wag nang magkunwari ang mga galit kay Jawo, mostly mga Crispanatics yan. Aminin nyo na lang inggit kayo kasi kaming mga Toyota Fans, may Jawo pang iniidolo. E kayo, wala na. At saka wala kaming pakialam kahit matalo ng matalo pa ang Air 21 basta nandoon si Jawo. Remember ang Ginebra ilang taong talo ng talo yan before naging champs. I’m sure ang Air 21 dadaan pa yan sa learning experience bago maging contender. Basta, go Jawo, Ginebra fans go pack your bags and join the Air 21 bandwagon.
y2j2000
wag nyo naman maliitin ang coaching ability ni Jawo. Remember 1990? 2 weeks preparation pero Silver sa Asian games. China lang ang hindi natin tinalo nun.
Bagamat ngayon scientific na ang basketball, walang heart ang mga players ngayon. Puro pa cute…
Di tulad nun. Laban kung laban, talo kung talo ang Ginebra.. talo man bitbit pa rin nila ang “balls” nila.
Ginebra fan 1986-1998
Maidag dag ko pala.. Ang Ginebra noon at Ginebra ngayon, ay pareho lamang sa pangalan. The spirit is not the same.. the Jaworski spirit.
Kung mapapansin nyo, dumadami na ang pasosi na ang fans ng Ginebra ngayon katulad na rin sila ng mga fans ng Alaska nung grandslam years. Mga AB crowd.
Up until 1998 mga masa ang ang fans ng GINEBRA. Ewan ko ba bakit biglang naging “cool” maging Ginebra fan ngayon, samantalang datirati pinagtatawanan kaming mga orig Ginebra (read: Jaworski) fans. At nilalait lait pa pag natatalo.
antonio de villa
sabi nila, hay naku balik na naman ang balyador sa PBA. o sige nga po. ang mag-laro na lang sa PBA . pastor at pari na lang tingnan, kung ano ang thrill na ibibigay sa inyo. WELCOME BACK BIG J!
Ferly
Yeheyyyyy.. Balik pala si Jawo…He’s a good Family man … at least kung sa Air 21 and punta niya matuturuan niya ng Good values ang player na may mga kabit…at baka sakali rin maturuan niya ang mga players na may anak na sustentuhan yung anak…
Sonny
YEH!! The BIG J!!. 6 years old watching PBA with my dad, mom and bros, back in the 70’s Toyota vs Crispa. The plays- behind the back, three point in the dying seconds, the bullet pass but most of all the never say die attitude!! It’s etch in my mind forever!! Legendary stuff and made in the PHILIPPINES!! Lets enjoy, with anticipation for the return of the BIG J!! =) If he comes back, i will go there for a holiday to watch Air 21’s game, from Down Under!! That is the charisma of the BIG J!! Can’t wait!! OOHH YEAHHH!!!
Jawo 4ever
Basta sana bumalik na si jawo para mas lalong sumaya ang PBA jawo missed ka na namin bumalik ka please…
