Ex-Northport cager John Amores is keeping himself busy nowadays as a basketball trainer, while facing attempted homicide charges.
Ball is life, still, for the embattled John Amores — but now as a hoops trainer.
The former NorthPort Batang Pier player has recently made rounds in social media, opening a basketball camp just months after getting his professional license revoked by the Games and Amusement Board (GAB).
Through the 'AA Basketball Camp,' Amores seems to turn his attention into sharing his basketball experience and developing the skills of interested hoopers.
Furthermore, the camp offers a variety of services like fundamental and skill development drills, basketball scrimmages, and agility and physical conditioning to name a few for two sessions worth Php 5,000.
“Meet me at AA Basketball Camp. Open na po tayo sa mga interesado. Located at CLA Mall Pagsanjan, Laguna,” the former 51st pick of the 2023 PBA Draft said.
Earlier, Amores sold some of his controversial items — most notably the infamous JRU jersey and Vice President Sara Duterte’s letter he received – to content creator and pawnshop owner Boss Toyo.

The former Heavy Bomber got into hot water after figuring in an alleged shooting incident in Lumban, Laguna with his brother back in September 2024.
After surrendering to the police, the two posted bail but are still facing attempted homicide charges filed by the prosecutor.

With this, GAB revoked the 25-year-old cager’s professional license in December 2024 that prevented him from playing in the PBA and other professional leagues.

The decision was made just after Asia's first play-for-pay league suspended Amores for the Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup without pay.
Furthermore, the league ordered the embattled player to undergo anger management on top of securing a clearance from a counselor in order to be allowed to play again.
