MANILA, Philippines – Nelson Asaytono will receive assistance from the league he once dominated while recovering from a heart attack.

In a report on the PBA website, the league promised to help Asaytono after being released from a hospital in General Trias, Cavite, on Saturday, April 11.

League Commissioner Willie Marcial added that the PBA legends who played with and against Asaytono are willing to participate.

Asaytono, who earned the nickname “The Bull” for his strong game and sturdy build during his 17-season PBA career, won 7 championships with Purefoods, Sunkist and Red Bull and won 3 legendary first-team picks.

The 53-year-old Oriental Mindoro native also won two Conference Best Player plums and was named an All-Star for 10 seasons.

Asaytono saw action in the Return of the rivals event in February 2019, where he and the legends of St. Michael defeated the legends of Alaska. – Rappler.com
