JAPETH AGUILAR hung his sneakers with peace, comfort and confidence, knowing that he has left a very capable and youthful frontline for Gilas Pilipinas to bank on — more than just his lasting legacy.
-
Mr. Aguilar on Tuesday ended almost a two-decade stint with Gilas Pilipinas, the longest tenure for any national player in history, officially handing the keys to the likes of Kai Sotto, AJ Edu and Quentin Millora-Brown.
Mr. Aguilar, who started donning national colors as a pioneer member of the Smart Gilas Pilipinas program in 2009, started the game and played 10 minutes with three points, a rebound and a steal as head coach Tim Cone gave him a perfect swan song.
