Scottie Thompson wishes he could've given LA Tenorio a championship farewell

Scottie Thompson expressed regret that he and Barangay Ginebra San Miguel could not give LA Tenorio a championship farewell in their final games together with the team.

Thompson stated he was surprised by Tenorio's appointment as the new head coach of the Magnolia Hotshots, considering Tenorio's significant role in his own PBA career.

Tenorio served as a mentor to Thompson when Thompson entered the league, guiding him to achieve numerous accolades including an MVP award.

Thompson mentioned that Tenorio had subtly hinted at his departure from Ginebra during their Philippine Cup semifinals series against the San Miguel Beermen, motivating the team to reach the finals.

The impending coaching matchup between Thompson and Tenorio adds an interesting narrative to their future games as Ginebra faces Magnolia.
