LUCKY SEVEN :)


April 28, 2009, Tuesday 1:00pm

A middle child of a five member family, living at Los Angeles, California didn’t think twice to track the foot steps of his destiny. Son of Romeo and Remy, who are both Filipino, rooted out from the province of Cavite spread his wings to fly for his dreams.

I really don't know much about this guy, but one thing is
f sho...this fil-am boy born August 17, 1985 have lots in store for you!

Better watch out for this 6 ft tall man wearing jersey number 7 of Licealiz team formerly Hapee of the Lamoiyan franchise as he dribbles the orange ball and shoot it down the basket at will. Don’t be fooled by his cute childish face and charming smiles cuz’ his basketball playing experience and toughness in the battlefield will pull the trigger to beat off his opponent.

Inspired and influenced by his coach-father, this fresh grad from Cal-State University Fullerton who took up Kinesiology finally exposes his talent and skills in playing basketball. At the age of 24, he had received many achievements using his God-given talent. He got triple MVP awards, one in his senior year then a pair during off season tournaments he joined. Growing-up watching basketball, US NCAA and NBA particularly had absorbed the sport and engaged with it. Before the league, he became part of the LA Showtime Team together with neighbor-mentor Ryan Reyes and other pros like Chris Pacana advised him to play just as he did before making the big move here in the p.i.

And now embracing his future in the said career tried his luck here in Manila as he joined the PBL draft last October 2008 held at Pasig Ynares and was first round pick. Averaging 73% in his parameter shooting and playing on his defensive ends will certainly make him an asset of his team. His unselfish plays and great hustle moves are proofs of an excellent fearless court general, who can handle a full court press. Coming up with a fully determined goal to make it to the next level, his hard work, perseverance and dedication to the sport will be his keys to heaven's gate. Yeah! you're right! Knowing that he's very well qualified and ready to perform on the professional stage, he'll be joining the upcoming PBA draft...PBL family will definitely miss him. But the modesty of this baller shares that he really needs to improve his consistency in playing and being vocal, in addition to it, he wanted to exert more effort working on his speed and physical power. Exploding a 24-pt career high during his rookie year in the PBL last semis against hard to beat Harbor Center impressed PBL fanatics to recognize his ability and sense of playing. Nevertheless, he has a nice attitude off court.

Being independent and living an own life is quite not easy for anyone in their first time, well…except for this guy! Regardless of what he left in his hometown, he’s still buoyant and jovial grabbing all this kind of opportunity. He’s fond of eating Japanese foods, his all time favorite Filipino cooking is adobo. Puto, bibingka and halo-halo are his top Pinoy desserts. Looking at it, adopting the Filipino culture is not that difficult for him. After practice and games, he plays video games and eats out with a companion, Josh Vanlandingham, his teammate-roommate. This will surely be a fun, exciting life and a banging career awaiting him.

With the absence of co-guard teammates JV Casio and Chris Tiu for RP training abroad creates a calling for him to step on the gas and make a name for himself.

You might be amazed when you see this fella in action burning with a hell of hotta energy…beware!

Hang-on to your seat...Star-in-the-making,
Lance Anthony M. Convento is on fire!!!
