Team VS
Gawad Kalinga Kiefer Ravena steals show from Allen Iverson, Ball Up All Stars - PCWorx Team VS Gawad Kalinga -
November 5, 2014 With the game tied at 96-all, Kiefer Ravena reminded us again why he is the
UAAP Season 77 MVP as he eluded the pesky defense of the visiting Ball Up All Stars with a thrilling drive to the basket and scored on a tough lay up with just 1.3 ticks left in the game to lift his PCWorx squad over the
Allen Iverson-mentored Gawad Kalinga side in the “
All In” charity basketball event at the
Mall of Asia Arena on Wednesday.
Ravena collaborated with former
NBA player and one-time
PBA import
DerMarr Johnson, who led all scorers with 24 markers, in an amazing 7-0 run in the last 1:07 of the game. Trailing 91-96, the Ateneo star scored on a lay-up off a pick and roll play with
San Beda center Olaide Adeogun to slice the Gawad Kalinga lead to just three points. After a defensive stop,
Johnson tied the count at 96-all with a three-point shot in the final 36 seconds. Gawad Kalinga muffed an attempt to regain the lead until Ravena was able to weave his own magic against a group of hoops artists to break the deadlock, 98-96.
Iverson called a time-out but in the ensuing play,
Anthony “Mr.
Afrika” Pimble misfired on his attempt. Ravena and fellow
UAAP icon
Jeron Teng finished with 16 markers each, while UAAP’s top power forwards Jeth
Rosario and
Mac Belo added 12 and 11 points respectively. Adeogun hauled down 11 boards for the PCWorx squad coached by multi-titled PBA guru
Tim Cone. Also playing for PCWorx were Ravena’s younger brother Thirdy, San Beda’s Javee Mocon,
San Sebastian’s CJ
Perez and
La Salle’s
Almond Vosotros. Another former NBA star,
Eddy Curry, was unable to suit up for the game but sat on the bench of PCWorx. Iverson came to town for the charity event aimed to help the Gawad Kalinga
Foundation raise funds to build homes for the homeless. On Tuesday, the 11-time
All Star and former
NBA MVP known as “the
Answer” also conducted a basketball clinic for kids. He was accompanied by the popular street ball team called the Ball Up All Stars, who are well regarded with their jaw-dropping hoops skills.
The Ball Up All Stars started the game on fire, wowing the crowd at the
MOA with their sensational dribbling moves and scoring prowess. They led by as many as 17 points, at 37-20, midway in the second quarter.

Bone Collector”
Williams sizzled with 20 points, followed by
