Menk stays with Kings[color:5057=#888]Friday, August 21, 2009 10:39:00 AM |
56 Comments Eric Menk, who has been a stalwart of the Barangay Ginebra frontline, plans to end his playing career with the Gin Kings, dousing cold water to reports that he was likely to move to another team for the forthcoming 2009 to 2010 Philippine Basketball Association season.
Ginebra coach Jong Uichico confirmed that they discussed the terms of Menk's new contract.
Menk, who played well in the last Reinforced Conference championship series against San Miguel Beer after returning from a calf injury, left for the US to visit his parents.
Uichico told Standard Today that Menk assured him that he would end his career in the PBA playing for Ginebra and there was no doubt he would keep his word.
Standard Today, Viva Sports and
www.insidesports.ph learned that Menk agreed to a one-year contract after which, depending on his physical condition and performance, they would talk about the years ahead.
Menk, who formed an awesome twosome with Sonny Alvardo, who suited up for Tanduay Rhum, but was later ruled to be ineligible to play as a Filipino, signed up with Ginebra shortly before Tanduay sold its franchise to FedEx, which is now Burger King. Menk, who turns 35 on Aug. 24, was a direct hire by Tanduay in 1999 and played college basketball in the US for Lake Superior State University.
