Dynamite Danny Seigle

For a while, Danny Seigle was the best player in the PBA. Taller than most of the SF in the PBA, he is virtually unstoppable. Great hops, deadly outside shots, quality low post moves combined made him the best in the PBA 2 to 3 years running.

But injuries slowed him really. He suffered career altering injuries. Now, currently getting back to form and battling the RedBull as I make this entry.

BTW, Back in 2002, in an exbihition game against Gaze's Australian Team, just before the Asian Games, he was injured. He was dominating in that game against the Aussies. Bad luck. And so, weeks later, he was not able to represent the Philippines in that Asian Games. Depriving us the chance of seeing him battle the Koreans and Yao Ming's Chinese Team. By the way, that maybe the best window we got to win the Asian Gold. The Korean barely won over us, and the Koreans later surprised China and took the gold. Healthy Seigle could have given us the Asian Basketball Gold prize.

And yes, a healthy Danny Seigle could do some damage in the PBA.

SMB in tying its series versus RedBull 2-2, PBA reports...

Danny Seigle recorded his 16th consecutive 20-plus game Sunday night and got ample support from his teammates this time as the San Miguel Beermen dealt the Red Bull Barakos a 106-82 beating in Game 4 of their Gran Matador Brandy PBA Philippine Cup semifinals series at the Araneta Coliseum.

Seigle’s awesome performance, likely the all-time longest 20-plus games streak by a local, was a fitting highlight to a game filled with drama and excitement.

SMB’s leading scorer tallied 24 points and had 10 rebounds and six of his teammates also finished in double figures as the Beermen broke wide open an erstwhile close game and tied the series at two games apiece.
