RIP Bobby Parks

[monde8]

American basketball player Bobby Parks, Sr., the Philippine Basketball Association’s only seven-time Best import awardee, has died after a long battle with laryngeal cancer. He was 51.

Parks passed away late Saturday afternoon at the San Juan de Dios Hospital, where he had been confined for several months now after his cancer, which he first beat two years ago, suddenly recurred.

Parks, whose son Bobby Ray Jr. plays for the National University Bulldogs and is the reigning Most Valuable Player of the Universities Athletics Association of the Philippines, was the coach of the San Miguel Beermen in the Asean Basketball League (ABL) but was forced to take a leave of absence last year after falling ill again.

RIP mr. Bobby parks, I've never been a Shell Fan pero I really admire your game, not even the legendary Tony Harris can match up against Shell during your time.
