2004 PBA DRAFT
January 16, 2004 @ Glorietta Activity Center (Makati City)
Shell opted to pick Ateneo forward Rich Alvarez No. 1 overall in the PBA Rookie Draft at the Glorietta in Makati last night following a last day deal for a big man from another team. As in last year's draft, Shell struck a three-way trade transaction hours before the event with sister teams Purefoods and San Miguel Beer, bringing in big man Billy Mamaril. The Turbochargers first acquired the Beermen's No. 7 pick in the draft in exchange for pointguard Dale Singson. The Pilipinas Shell franchise then dealt the pick plus forward Eddie Laure to Purefoods for Mamaril.
Solving its problem at the center slot but creating a vacuum at the forward spot, Shell exercised its rights on the No. 1 pick on Alvarez over other top draftees Ranidel de Ocampo, Joachim Thoss, Jean Marc Pingris and Ervin Sotto.

If you're wondering if this is really me on the picture, you're partly correct. It's me without a make-up. I'm a basketball-loving, stat-thumping, 30-something freak of nature. I've been a big-time PBA follower ever since I got BIG (got to work out!). The PBA offseason is probably the most anticipated time of the year for basketball fanatics, it's even more eagerly watched than the actual tourney in itself. At least, that's just my opinion. I created this site solely for the purpose of entertaining myself (that would be a tough job) and finding some purpose in life (wow, heavy!).
