(UAAP Basketball) Parks opts to leave NU to pursue US hoops dream

Bobby Ray Parks might have already played his last game as a National University Bulldog.

After losing to the Far Eastern University Tamaraws in the PCCL, Parks expressed his interest to try out his luck in the United States.

"We don't want to close the door an anything but as of the moment, returning to NU is unlikely for Rayray because he really wants to pursue a career in the States," said Charlie Dy, Parks' agent.

After the Bulldogs were booted out by the University of Santo Tomas in the Final Four of the recently concluded UAAP season, rumors swirled that Parks could possibly join the PBA Draft. However, it was later clarified that he couldn't join yet as he was below the minimum age of 21 and he hasn't finished a college course yet.

"He has served NU for three years. He was the MVP for two years and he passed up on a Division 1 school to be a Bulldog," Dy explained. "I think now is the time for him to focus on his own goals."

Dy stated that the NBA D-League is not an option for Parks. "He'll finish his studies in March then he'll fly to the States to be with his mother and work out," the agent added. "Then we'll see what happens but hopefully he makes it to the NBA Summer League."

(UFC-MMA) Anderson Silva & Chris Weidman look toward Dec. 28 rematch

Long time UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva looks back at his shocking KO loss to Chris Weidman this past summer and sees only "basic mistakes" that led to his defeat.

"My mistakes in that fight, and that’s the first time I’m saying this, were basic mistakes," Silva recently told Sportv, according to Brazilian reporter Guilherme Cruz.

"I did everything I had to do except hit him. I didn’t counterattack. When I stopped with my feet parallel, I should have hit him and walked one step behind. I didn’t do that. I saw my mistakes and I’m working on that to train for this next fight."

Of course, before Silva got knocked out on his feet in the second round by Weidman, he got dominated in the first round because of his opponent's take downs and top-game Jiu Jitsu. If "The Spider" is fortunate enough to get Weidman in a stand-up fight when they rematch Dec. 28 at UFC 168, he says he'll make quick work of the new champion.

"It’s going to be a tough fight," he said, "and it won’t last too long if it stays standing."

For his part, Weidman is still acting the part of a hungry challenger.

"I wish I could sit back and relax and I feel like I’ve accomplished my goal, but I gotta win this next fight bad," Weidman explained.

"Every fight just feels like it's the life changer, feels like the most important fight of your life, and we're still there. This next fight is huge for me, I gotta win."
