DAVAO CITY---THREE fast-rising PBA stars from Mindanao are all inspired by the successful professional basketball career of fellow Mindanaoan Peter June Simon of Makilala , North Cotabato, and Cyrus Baguio of Iligan City, Lanao del Norte.
Barangay Ginebra star guard Scottie Thompson, of Digos City, Davao del Sur, Meralco Bolt's star point-guard Baser Amer of Barangay Maa, Davao City, and Magnolia Hotshots star point-guard Jio Jalalon of Cagayan de Oro City are all inspired by the successful PBA career of Simon and Baguio.
Thompson said growing up they idolized both Simon and Baguio.
Amer and Jalalon for their part also echoed the same sentiment saying Simon and Baguio inspired them to play better.
Both Simon and Baguio are at the twilight of their PBA careers and set to retire from professional basketball play soon.
