Before exiting the Big Dome, the four had a group photo all together then another one with their respective families, including Ross’ mother Virginia, who just arrived back in Manila in time for their playoff run.
'Death 5' forever
Lassiter said it’s always a treat when the ‘Death 5’ come together outside the court, although this time, Alex Cabagnot was not around.
“It was great to see Arwind come. Alex might have been busy or whatnot. But it’s always great to have them support us. It feels great to see the guys you played with, battled, and went through a lot of wars,” he said.
When Santos is around, Lassiter said Santos would always provide inputs about the game.
“He’s a player, so he sees the game too. It’s always great to see what he has to say,” he said.
Lassiter said the ‘Death 5’ will forever be intertwined, especially with their respective families also being close-knit.
“It’s great to see everyone growing, having kids, and having a family, being there for each other,” he said.
