Quinito Henson on UAAP, PBA, and 50 Years in Sports Media
Description
In this special The Navs Effect episode, I sit down with “The Dean” himself, Quinito Henson, for an electric conversation spanning more than five decades of Philippine basketball and sports media.
We cover his involvement with La Salle, Renren Ritualo’s new role with the Green Archers, and the big UAAP storylines — from Seven Gagate’s return, to Veejay Pre’s offseason move, to UP’s rise as a powerhouse, and the league’s policies on FSAs and poaching.
We also dive into the PBA: the controversial 3-year ban rule, the role of farm teams, and Quinito’s upcoming work with the PBA board in Las Vegas. Plus, we talk about SBP’s role in QMB's eligibility, Thirdy Ravena’s current career status, and Quinito’s unforgettable experiences — including his relationship with Robert Jaworski and the legendary story of bringing him to the 1999 NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden to meet David Stern.
Don’t miss this deep dive with one of the most iconic voices in Philippine sports.
