Ex-Barracudas import Reggie to play in Philippines
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN Wednesday, April 28, 2010
FORMER Barracudas import, Reggie Larry, has made his way back to
Southeast Asia. But this time it isn't Brunei, but the Philippines to
play for Air21 in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
"They finally made a decision to sign me after they lost two straight games with their last import (Jason Forte)," said Larry, in an interview with The Brunei Times, yesterday.
"I've decided to sign with the team to keep my career going and doing what I love which is basketball. It's way better than staying at home and playing open gym basketball," added the 23-year-old American.
Larry is no stranger to the Philippine basketball scene after he competed for the Derby Ace (Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants) in last year's Fiesta Cup but was forced out after he fractured his hand. When asked about his chances of playing for the Barracudas next season, the former Boise State forward replied: "I would love to come back and play for the Barracudas but we need to get that going again soon. I've got some unfinished business there.
"When I'm done here, hopefully I can go back to Brunei and have the fans love basketball because after every game more and more people started to go and watch," added Larry.
The 6ft 6in forward was the topscorer for the Barracudas in the Asean Basketball League (ABL) last season averaging 19.4 points per game (second overall in ABL) and 3.1 assists per game (second overall in ABL).
Larry will make his debut against Talk N Text on May 1 with Air21 hoping to end a four-game slide.
