Jericho Cruz won his breakthrough PBA Finals MVP trophy after San Miguel's triumphant run in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup, which concluded on Friday at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.
Cruz credited SMC sports director Alfrancis Chua for being there for him throughout the Finals, helping the Adamson University product shut out the noise brought upon by his ways in the game.
At the receiving of the boos by the opposing end's fans, with the help of Chua, as he said, Cruz stood firm and remained laser-focused on his game, posting averages of 13.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in the championship series.
