What a nice observation on whoever created that speculation. It was possible since Marc Pingris' decision surprise even one of his closest teammates before, James Yap so it's really not a thing to expect from Pingris. For now, as of report, it was his age as the main reason and he can't play now to the highest level.

It's really difficult to play at the bubble since the player will leave his family for months. As we know, Pingris is a family-oriented man and I'm not sure if he can able to handle the bubble setup.

Yes, his family might be one of the reason why he has decided to retire and as well as getting the support from her wife did him easy on that. I was shocked to see that he has retired but I think his whole PBA career is already long and one of the most successful that we had ever see. I've got a question and I hope that anyone who has a wide knowledge about this can answer. Does a PBA retire gets an allotment or retirement benefit from the league itself? for sure he'll be having some incentives and one time big pay check after his retirement. But just like us, when we get old, do they have the same as retirement pension?

It's not gonna be a bubble forever, I think he can choose not to play this season and still remain with the team, it's just that he made a final decision and that's it. I think it's really his age and injury, he is not anymore 100% and at the same time he is a fulfilled player.

With the number of veterans who retired in the last 2 years, that is not normal, the pandemic was really a big factor in their decision. Also, we know that there are some PBA players who are not given a contract this season, that's another thing, the competition is getting in this struggling time.

There's a comment I read in the PBA portal community in social media that Pingris likely turned down the offer because it was below the average of his salary while at the same time, much better to stay at home rather than taking the risks of contracting a virus in the bubble. It's not about the money as he is financially capable but seeing the amount on the contract, like it's not worth giving it time.

Adding to that, I've remembered that some teams are struggling financially like Phoenix which results in trading Abueva to another team as his contract here involves a big amount like no other player has. RSA also says recently that the cost of running 3 teams is not a joke.

The speculation was because of Danica Sotto's statements; "God maybe has another plan for us" and "I'll always be by your side".

Don't know if that's true but what do you think?

That rumor makes sense, but one thing is certain is the statement of Danica Sotto who is literally always in his side, at least as a fan I saw that every time Ping had a game, she is a very supportive wife and Ping is very lucky to have that.

Despite that, we hope to see a good season once the PBA season opens up.

We have 3 days before June 2021, isn't it the expected month of the opening of the new season?

I wish there would be no more problem and they will commence according to their plan.

Thanks to all of them and maybe we might see some old players doing the same to just to give spots to these promising rookies and for the future too.

Pingris says, "Ibigay na lang natin sa bata'".

He can still make money as Magnolia will surely give him a new contract even for a 1-year veteran deal. He can be a bench warmer lol. But yes, I agree that he might be part of the Magnolia coaching staff if he wants to.

He maybe accepts the fact now that his body is not cooperating now due to his serious injuries before, ACL in 2018, and right calf injury in 2020.

The timing maybe is one of the reasons, I have a feeling that Ping will not retire if we are not in a pandemic. But anyway, he has already decided and it's good to give chance to other placers to be in the PBA. Ping has already accomplished a lot in basketball, there's nothing to prove anymore, and Financially, I think he is also stable already.

He's more stable if we talked about finances, SMB corp plus being related to the Sotto's even the last bloodline of his family will enjoy the luxuries, it's about time to let those newcomers to entertain the fans, Ping achieved the peak of his legacy and there's nothing to prove anymore, he's going to retire his number with lots of respect from the league itself and all those fans who love and idolized him when he still active playing the game.

He might join as one of the coaching staff or another one is he might build a business under Magnolia like a franchise something like that.
On the other hand, I like what he thinks that he wants young people to fulfill their dreams by giving his spot to them. Most unforgettable moment about him?? The time where Ball Boy "Boy Sukat" measured his feet up to the out of bounds.

This is the picture if you want to see it. Link of the article can be seen here.

Thank you also for hitting JMF25 in the groin area thus awaken the giant in him lol.

I never knew that was the start lol. I dig some information and surprise that it's not just a simple hit in a groin area.

It has become a serious medical condition. Because of what you posted, I become curious about that story lol.

More information here: https://sg.news.yahoo.com/news/news/swollen-060206652.html

Cebuano basketball fans would never forgot that incident as it the reason why Junemar Fajardo did not won the Rookie of the Year award and the possible MVP on that same year, the record which was hold by Benjie Paras until now.

But on the brighter side, that incident paved the way for the true friendship of Junemar and Marc Pingris, on and off the court.

Sad to see that one of the pillars of PBA has officially retired for sure the fans will miss the intensity what pinoh sakuragi can bring in the court. Wishing for him to get a good recognation but unfortunately this will never happen these year since the pandemic still exist in the world. For sure we will miss him play in PBA aswell in FIBA.

It was already expected so fans are already prepared for it. And besides, the average retirement of PBA players starts from the age of 35 above. A great step for Pinoy Sakuragi to give way to young cores now. I can't imagine PBA for now without these big names.

I'm expecting another retirement of some players this year honestly.

As of this year, there are now 6 players who finally hang their jersey for good;

- Cyrus Baguio
- Ronald Tubid
- Harvey Carey
- JC Intal
- Jay-R Reyes
- Marc Pingris

Pingris is saying it already that if he will be given another contract then he will play but I think that isn't the case now. Well, for sure he might be return as one of the management team of Magnolia in the future maybe

.

We already saw 6 players who retired for good and this just shows that the future is bright for the league. We already one of the best if not the best rookie players this year and most of them are very promising thus, they are needed by different teams. They need to give slots to these young and talented players to showcase their abilities to the largest league in our country.

Thanks to all of them and maybe we might see some old players doing the same to just to give spots to these promising rookies and for the future too.

Mark Caguioa and Taulava will complete that list this year mate and that's the names you expected that will retire this year lol.

I'm just happy that there a moment that we have a Pinoy Sakuragi in the PBA and he once a household name in Philippine basketball, Marc Pingris.

For me, the biggest and unforgettable memory watching Pingris was the time when helped Gilas finally defeated Korea in the FIBA Asia qualifier. Pingris played all heart despite having some pain in the injury he sustain that game.

All good thing comes to an end, so i'll just say thank you Marc Pingris for all the good times you brought to the PBA and to the Philippine basketball as well.

Thank you also for hitting JMF25 in the groin area thus awaken the giant in him lol.

ONE of the pillars of Purefoods’ 2014 grand slam team has just been taken down.

Big man Marc Pingris announced his retirement in the PBA after a colorful 16-year career, highlighted by his major role in helping the now Magnolia Hotshots complete a season sweep of all three conferences seven years ago.

The 39-year-old forward dubbed ‘Pinoy Sakuragi’ made the announcement on his social media platform on Tuesday night.

"16 years na din ako sa PBA pero alam ko na ngayon na ang tamang panahon para umpisahan ang bagong chapter ng buhay ko," Pingris said in a long post in his Instagram account.

We will never forget the Pinoy Sakuragi.

It's time, he knows that he's body is no longer the same and the competition inside the rim are now
dominated by those giants, if he's still young for sure it's nice seeing him playing against those players.

It's just like "the Tower of Power" Benjie Paras and "the Capt" Alvin Parimonio, they step down even they still have it,
giving newcomers a chance to proved themselves inside this league.

Farewell "Pinoy Sakuragi" thanks for all the memories!

I don't feel sad at all, he is not anymore in his prime and he is having some injury problem, and in fact, at his age of 39 years old, I think that is already a retirement age for most PBA players. Well, I hope he will have a prosperous life after PBA, that's all I wish for one of my Idols in the PBA.
