Scottie Thompson and Alex Cabagnot’s hard work certainly paid off.
The San Miguel Corporation group showed their trust in the Barangay Ginebra and San Miguel Beer spitfires by repaying them with separate multi-year deals with their respective teams.
This move was timely as well, with both Thompson and Cabagnot currently making their presence felt in their stints with the national team, aside from constantly giving their teams a lift in the Philippine Basketball Association.
Both had already signed their fresh deals with their teams.
Thompson, one of the rising stars of the league, was signed to a three-year deal after proving his worth by winning the Finals Most Valuable Player last conference and leading the Gin Kings to the Commissioner’s Cup championship.
He was likewise vital to the team’s previous conquests in the past two Governors’ Cup.
On the other hand, Cabagnot, a critical part of San Miguel’s dynasty core, was renewed for two years.
Like Thompson, he won the exact same award last season.
With these key guards extended for the long haul, Ginebra and San Miguel expect continuity in terms of their championship runs.
