4 unusual facts about Jojo Lastimosa


Jojo Lastimosa

Lastimosa was one of the original members of the Purefoods TJ Hotdogs franchise upon its entry into the league in 1988 as one of the illustrious quartet which included PBA 4-time MVP Alvin Patrimonio, many-time "Mythical Team" and All-Defensive Team Member Jerry CodiƱera and perennial All-Defensive Team member, Glenn Capacio.

After a long association with the Alaska team, Lastimosa was traded to the Pop Cola Panthers where he formed a deadly triumvirate with Nelson Asaytono and Noli Locsin.

He skippered the Milkmen to the 1996 Grand Slam together with eventual 1996 MVP Johnny Abarrientos, Bong Hawkins and Jeffrey Cariaso, only the fourth Grand Slam in the league's history.

Later on, Lastimosa would play with another Visayan-based team, the Lhuillier Jewelers, where he teamed up with his good friend and national team hotshot Samboy Lim in winning a PABL title.
