It is an open secret that Calvin Abueva was a self-taught Basketball player. It was once a daily routine for a young Calvin to watch his boyhood idol legend Robert Jaworski on television everyday at night. Every noon the next day, Abueva would try to mimic his idol’s moves, antics and playing style. Truly, the rebounding, scoring and competitive prowess of “The Beast” is reminiscent of the legendary Jaworski.
