- Manila, Nov. 2, 1997 - The Philippine Star's Joaquin Henson stirred local basketball aficionados with the story of Johnny Abarrientos being recruited as possible temporary replacement for injured Charlotte Hornets veteran Muggsy Bogues.
If that materializes, the Alaska star will become the first Asian to play in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Henson writes that Abarrientos met Friday with Charlotte international scout Joe Betancourt to discuss the possibility of the Alaska guard joining the Hornets in January. Present at the meeting were adviser Anton Montinola and Alaska coach Tim Cone .
Betancourt said "Charlotte is the right team for Johnny. My goal is to be able to bring the first Asian to the NBA."
"I will recommend signing Johnny to a ten-day contract, we'll pay for his airfare and all his expenses. If there's a chance for Johnny to play in the NBA, it'll be with Charlotte. It's important to have someone in the organization batting for him. An I am pitching for Johnny to make it.
Coach Tim Cone said Alaska will not get in the way of Abarrientos playing in the NBA. "We'll lose games without Johnny, but we're willing to sacrifice for his sake. It's a great opportunity for a Filipino."
Betancourt will be back in early January with a contract for Abarrientos, who described the deal as "a dream come true."
Overrated lang siguro sya as greatest poin guard in pba kasi sikat at iba karisma nya sa tao. I think Mas mgaling sa kanya si Alapag Castro at Helterbrand dyan pa si Racela
Shooting lang c alapag at asisst wlang inside. Ganun din c castro. Racela nmn mas malayo playmaker lng tlga sya nakafucos wlang outside shooting d gaano ganun k empact at wla ring inside shooting. Jhonny kasi complete nsa kanya lahat as a pointguard. Pinakamagling sya mag handle ng buong team.
Tsaka hndi ka sisikat sa anong laro kung hindi ka magaling.
Panoorin mo interview ni racela kung ano comment nya kay abarrientos
LOL. Hindi yan aalukin ng hornets kung hindi magaling. Yan ang the best point guard sa PBA history. Unlike sa mga players ngayon, swertihan ang galing. Bihira ang consistent.
Ano daw😅😅
Overall c johnny A.
The great pointguard ever.
Nung panahon nila sobramg sikat ng PBA hnd na katulad ngayon
Pure basketball wizardry,that is jhonny abarientos.he can make every team mate on the playing court equally good .trademark of a brilliant point guard.
idol noon at ngaun..
Naalala ko tuloy nong kabataan ko, kahit napapalo ako dahil bawal magsuot ng shorts pero bumibili talaga ako ng jersey na kapangalan sa kanya.. Mahal ko talaga to ei..
nung time na nanonood pa ako ng pba. alaska team ako. sina abarrientos pa nun. ngauna mas aus pa manonood ng NBA kesa PBA kahit sariling atin.

Johnny The “Flying A” Abarrientos🔥 Legendary performance The best point guard in the PBA back to back to back Champions in his Alaska Days back in the 90’s💪🏻
Mga galawang di lang basta galing kundi matalino din
Lolo ko basketball player. Grade 1 or 2 palang ako nun tska yung lolo ko naka wheelchair na pero kapag pba na ang palabas wala na kaming magagawa kahit ma birthday paman o kahit na anong occasion face to face na kaagad yun sa tv tapos kahit kami gustong manuod ng tv ayaw tlga nya palitan channel. Nung nag simula na ko mag laro sa school nmin na realize ko na kung bakit ganun lolo ko. Ang galing pala nila, lalo na si abarrientos. Idol ko rin to!
PANAHON NG TUNAY NA PBA.
thanks for sharing this, he's an intelligent player and exciting to watch, his stats during the 90's can prove he is.

Remembered watching him pag may laro ang Alaska, and the next day I tried to imitate all he's moves on the court. wohoo idol.
Galing na point guard talaga ni johnny A. Malapit lang bahay nya sa amin sa polagon. Nakasama ko noong 1980's kapatid nya si ric ric at buday sa team ng sta.perpetua quezon city maliit pa lang si johnny ng sumasama sya sa mga laban namin. Naging superstar sya ng lumaki na at naging PBA player pa. Your a legend idol.
Idol ko talaga toh batang 90s ako
CRISTY DELA PEÑA - I'VE been Johnny's A Superb G.F from 1995-98.. Ako lng ang nakaalam ha n BF ko xa..pero xa Hindi nya alam😄😄😄😄 I Love you FLYING A..39 n ako now..pero pay napapag-uusapan ang Johnny A..na iinlab pa rin ako sau💖💖💖💖 Until now walang lang katulad sa court...Hope to meet you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Iba talaga yung athleticism at basketball IQ ni Johnny A. Isipin mo 5'8 tapos nag MVP. walang katulad.
Ganda pa nang back round music nakakamis Lang Kasi😍🥰
Benjie Paras naman next!
the best pg ever in the history of PBA! no else comes close to him despite his size disadvantage and stand at only 5'7" and yet he was dominating the game of basketball in PBA.
Pasipa po
Tama po kau para sakin...punakamahusay n pointguard si Johnny A...at nuon pa man high tech na din galaw niya..
Sabi nga no Menk ituturo palang ang moves ginawa na ni Johnny....
Unang basketball player na inidolo ko💪💪
Basketball knowledge , exciting player, best defensive point guard, that's why Charlotte Hornets almost sign him during 90's
A bit of overstatement on the last part. The Hornets sent him an invitation for a PRE-SEASON camp not the actual regular season games.
@@louie.dichoso nope you should watch Johnny's interview, he confirmed that the hornets offered 2 contracts, 1st an invitation to basketball camp and then a 10 day contract, but unfortunately it didn't push through
mali kayo . 😂😂 di na bumalik yung scout nun . payag na sana siya
Hehe dami q tawa dun sa di na bumalik yung scout 😁..pero true n legrnd tlga c johnny A sa PBA .. Dederve to be on hall of fame..
Johnny is the best ,in his generation .....

Era to ng best PBA, palaging puno ang araneta pag my laro
My favorite point guard in pba. The best ever.
Yan talaga idol ko sa PBA eversince c flying A... 😊
panahong npkalakas p ng alaska..johnny A,lastimosa,juiño,duremdes,hawkins..wla png manila classico nun,ginebra at alaska p ung bad blood..khit ndi q fave team toh,lge q pdn pinapanuod laro nla,khit n ung ibang teams,kc bwat teams,my superstars tlga..PBA early to late 90's under commisioner jun bernardino..
Tama ka dyan mij leanat, lahat ng teams sa PBA may SUPERSTARS. Kaya talung-talo yung mga drama sa tv network nun. Kasi, halos lahat ng tao nakatutok sa tv pag may laro ang PBA games sa Araneta o Cuneta Astrodome.
Besides laging exciting ang laro at pag Genebra ang kalaban lalo pag finals U have to expect d unexpected plus d fact U have to be ready for d raining coins or thrown plastic bottles & it's expected na dadagundung ang Araneta or Cuneta....while other teams might rain on 3 point shots , dunks, steals, miracle shots or unexpected turn out
Na sa hall of fame sa PBA player. Isa sa pinaka magaling nga na point guard sa kanyang hinerasyon.
My idol since im grade IV
NAkikipanuod pa ako sa kapitbahay namin paglaban na ng
ALASKA MILK 🙂🙂🙂
Wish i could back time to the gold era of PBA 😢
I hated him playing against my favorite team Purefoods. But hats off to him, he is the greatest point guard. He is a dual threat .. a pass first and shoot 2nd point guard.
Idol na idol ko Yan
Ngstart Akon mgidolo SA kanya noong 1995,1996..
Kaya lng nasira tv NG kapitbahay nmin pagkatapos noon.

Same here bro. Nkakamiss yung dating alaska. A, jolas, marvel, slasher, jet, hawk. Puro maliliit pero multiple chips. Nkakalungkot lang isipin kulilat sila palagi ngayun. Alaska pa rin, for life.
Galing mo talaga idol.😊
Siya pinaka gusto kong player maliit pero magaling
Agreeeee
Johnny the best. Ikamusta mo na lang ako sa kapatid mong si Buday at RicRic mga teamates ko noong araw sa Sta. Perpetua champion team 1980.
Go go go Johnny go..
My only favorite player , eversice he stopped playing in the PBA, since then i never watched pba again till now...i only watch psl volleyball because of mika reyes since her la salle days until now in petron blaze team...
I missed this kind of excellent-brilliant moves of Jhonny A. (my most favorite PBA player) that now a days you can seldom see it in modern PBA, Why? In my own personal opinion, the players of today have so much distraction unlike in the early 90's there was no google, Facebook, Instagram, twitter, Whatapps, chatting, texting, video-cam to cam etc. The quality time of hard work in their practices they spent before (90's) couldn't match of the present PBA players. This is the very reason I didn't watch the PBA games anymore.
Same bro
*distraction
@@jeortiz-luis4288 Absolutely right!!!

Yeaaaahhhhh 👍👍👍👍👍
Naalala ko yung 1996 Alaska ang galing nila mag-execute ng play of the time out lalo na sa crunch time.
nkakamis panuorin..
Sayang naging nba sana to dati
Grabe naman kung magiging nba siya
Alaska at chicago bulls ang domenante sa basketball sa 90's respect alaska and jhonny A ikaw tlga ang pinakamagaling na pointguard sa PBA. outside shooting inside, drebling with cross over , assist, Wlang question ..
Dito sikat na sikat ang pba.naalala ko pa noon bata pa ako sa kapitbahay kami nanonood ng tv subrang sikip ang dami nmin.ngaun ang pba puro acting nlng magshowbiz kaya kayo noh.
Golden era mg pba. Ang 90"s
noon pro ngayon mayroon ng castro alapag romeo at iba pa, pro xa tlga ang nauna kya legend.
May kanya kanya tau batang best point guard dto...iba ibang era....halos lahat ng batang 90's ay abarientos ang best point guard.....aq batang 70's, 80's, 90's and present....sa aking nakita...hector calma ang the best...international or pba man...peace men...
Lupet pla mag cross over ni idol jonny a.2019,sep 15
Di man siya maging katulad ng aming kaibigan na si Ronjhay abarrientos pero sana makapasok si Rj sa pba at maging future gilas pilipinas! Proud kame sa ka baryo namin na dati lang naming kalaro sa ligo ngayon proffesional na. SANJOSENIANS PRIDE! QC!!!
As far as i know Rj is Johnny's Nephew. ... so it's in Rj's blood to be good in basketball specially when it's God's given talent. ...
@@raquelbiliran7693 oo sobrang galing niyan pamangkin siya ni Flying A tagasamin lang siya at di namin sukat akalain na malayo ang mararating niya ngayon
@@kxrl9671 actually I'm waiting for Rj to be on PBA by then I'll be watching PBA again. ..
Pa subscribe naman sa channel ko mga paps hehe.
johny the flying A the best PG, sana may video din si Cris Bolado isa rin sa legendary sa alaska wasak ang ring pag umaksyon.
totoo nga sinasabi sakin ng daddy ko, siya nga pinaka mahusay ng PG sa PBA.
Jimmy alapag idol sya nag lead sa gilas sa fiba world and first win natin the world cup against Senegal
Heart of the alaska milkmen 1996 Grand slam Champion
Calculated kasi halos galaw nya at higit sa lahat magaling sa cross over and may tira sa labas. malakas pa mag rebound
Kaya naging fan ako ng alaska dahil kay Johnny A.
Then dumating si Jimmy and Jason one of the reason kung bakit naging successful ang Gilas dati
Tony Parker ng Pinas 👌
Natatandaan ko pa nung 90s si Johnny A eh parang si Michael Jordan ang level. Yung kapag nasa team mo sya eh instant championship contender ung team mo. Parating 3peat alaska dahil sa kanya.
Isang beses lang po nag 3peat ang Alaska. Hindi po parati
Johnny was supposed to get hooked up by NBA’s Charlotte Hornets crew but I was disappointed he rejected that offer. If he ever accepted the offer, he would be the 2nd smallest player in NBA history after Mugssy Bogues. Coincidentally, Bogues was playing for Hornets at that time Johnny was offered.
nabasa mo ba sir comments ni Leonardo Rafael?
vivere ibarra if I didn’t catch someone’s reply similar to mine then I didn’t read it.
Johny is the best..unstoppable yan...grabe mga galawan nian..pang NBA tlga xa nuon sayang lang at ndi natuloy...ang pnka paborito ko sa knya ung nakaw nia sa mga center na rumerebound pag baba sabay tapik...sa opensa nmn ung fall away shot nia... The flying A
idol to mula nung pop cola panthers point god husay tlga guard rebounder ..hustle defense man to man tlga...cross over parang sumasayaw tlga galing sumundot ng bola
90's Alaska Days dameng pinaiyak na team nito. From year 94 to 98
Ginebra,purefoods and shell tinalo ng alaska nung 1996 pra sa Grandslam
@@egomaniac899 yung nga lang po umabot yung laban ng Alaska at Shell sa Game 7 di katulad ng Purefoods at Ginebra na hanggang Game 5 lang inabot. Sa lahat ng nakalaban ng Alaska sa Finals nung 1996 sa Formula Shell sila hirap na hirap dominahin na manalo.
@@revinanthonydagcuta4533 uu lupit ng line up ng shell nun, gerry esplana,noy castillo,john best,chris,jackson,vic pablo at benjie paras, muntikan tlaga sa shell
@@egomaniac899 ah 1998 PBA Commissioner's Cup Semifinals line-up po ata yang binabanggit nyo sir pero namuntikan din ng Shell yung Alaska din nun. 1996 PBA Commissioner's Cup naman po si Ronnie Magsanoc pa ang PG nun (injured nga lang) at wala pa si Chris Jackson nun at si Kenny Redfield pa import nun.
