MANILA, Philippines – Marcio Lassiter only used to look up to the likes of Jimmy Alapag, LA Tenorio, and James Yap.Lassiter continued his ascent in the all-time PBA three-pointers list as he surpassed Yap for fourth place and closed in on Tenorio for third after helping San Miguel stay unbeaten in the Philippine Cup on Sunday, April 21.Alapag sits at No. 1 with 1,250 three-pointers followed by PBA icon Allan Caidic, who previously held the league record when he ended his career with 1,242 treys.

If he keeps this pace, Lassiter would eclipse Tenorio in no time, and it would no longer be a surprise if he also surpasses Caidic and Alapag for the top spot.“I’m not really thinking about that. I’m more focused on the win. But if I can make a few, that would be great to slowly chip away and we’ll see where it goes from there,” said Lassiter.

More games mean more chances, so expect Lassiter to improve his three-point tally as the defending champion Beermen – toting a perfect 7-0 record – are expected to go on a deep playoff run.Delfin Dioquino dreamt of being a PBA player, but he did not have the skills to make it. So he pursued the next best thing to being an athlete – to write about them. He took up journalism at the University of Santo Tomas and joined Rappler as soon as he graduated in 2017.
