TNT’S JASON CASTRO IS ON SLAM PHL 150

A Jason from a champion team is featured in the second issue of SLAM PHILIPPINES. Nope, it is not Jason Kidd nor Jason Terry of the 2011 NBA champions Dallas Mavericks but this season’s two-time PBA finals co-MVP (along with teammate Jimmy Alapag), Jason Castro of the Talk N Text Tropang Texters. The diminutive guard from the Philippine Christian University (PCU), who once played as an import for the Singapore Slingers, was instrumental in the Tropang Texters’ title runs in the Philippine Cup and Commissioner’s Cup, respectively. Castro coupled with previews of the 2011 University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) seasons are the local articles in SLAM PHL No. 150 issue (August 2011). The said issue is a special collectors edition which features the ultimate look back at the greatest players, moments, pics and more of the SLAM era. The cover boy is no other Allen Iverson, who had an interesting exclusive interview story. Of course, there is the G.O.A.T. himself, Michael Jordan. I just got my copy today at the Fully Booked branch in Mall of Asia (MOA) and I swear, it is worth the price.
