PBA Player of the Week Baser Amer rises to the occasion for MeralcoMANILA, Philippines – While team effort has always been the name of the game for Meralco, coach Norman Black singled out one person largely responsible for the Bolts stringing out back-to-back wins last week in the PBA Governors Cup. “A lot of times you need somebody to step up and take over for your team and the last couple of games, it has been Baser Amer,” said the grand slam coach of his heady point guard. The numbers, not to mention Black’s kind words for him, earned Amer the PBA Press Corps-Cignal Player of the Week for the period September 30 to October 6. He became the second Meralco player in the last three weeks to earn the distinction after big man Raymund Almazan. He followed that up with a 26-point output four days later as Meralco pulled off a 111-94 victory over Phoenix.
