Two-time PBA Most Valuable Player James Yap thanked his former coach Tim Cone for the five years the PBA tactician spent with Purefoods.
The Star Hotshot posted a photo of him with Cone on Instagram, which came with a hearfelt message to his former coach.
“Thank you for giving me my first 4-peat and my first ever Grand-Slam. I won 5 of my 7 PBA championships with you, coach. I will be forever grateful. It was a privilege being coached by you coach Tim!!! Good-luck and God bless,” Yap said in his caption.
Cone, the league’s winningest coach, led Purefoods to five PBA championships in five seasons.
San Miguel Corp. has recently transferred the coach to Barangay Ginebra, hoping that he could turn the team’s fortune around.
