CJ Perez just had the conference of his PBA life in the Commissioner's Cup.
Did we just see a changing of the guard… or since June Mar is not a guard, a changing of THE man?
While June Mar remains as the Beermen’s immovable force, there’s no doubt that CJ Perez is slowly positioning himself as San Miguel’s ace.
Take the Commissioner’s Cup for example. BPC, Finals MVP, and a conference-high 28 points in a close out Game 6. That's some THE man stuff right there.
“To be the man, you gotta beat the man” doesn’t necessarily apply, since CJ and June Mar are not adversaries. But on a conference where Fajardo missed time and San Miguel needed a star to take over, guess who did it.
That’s right, THE MAN CJ.
