| Denied thrice as a player, Boyet As a PBA player from 1993 up to the 2004-05 season, playing for Sta. Lucia, Alaska and Purefoods, Negrense Boyet Fernandez never got to taste a championship. Thrice, the Valladolid-born player-turned-coach played in the Finals – for Alaska in the 1997 Commissioner's Cup against Gordon's Gin and with Purefoods in the 2000 All-Filipino Cup against Alaska and in the Governors Cup against San Miguel Beer. Each time, his team lost. As the Realtors' current head coach, he now has a chance to finally win a ring, not just for himself but for a Sta. Lucia team – his first and last team in the PBA as a player. |
