Chris Timberlake is a professional basketball player in the
Philippines. He was drafted in the 8th slot (7th overall) in the 2009 Philippine Basketball
Association's 2009 Rookie Draft by the Ginebra Kings, but was traded
to Purefoods
in the same week.
Prior to being drafted in the PBL, CT competed in the 2009 Flex Unity
Cup where he suited up as Point
Guard for the Oracle Titans. While with the Titans, he helped the
squad capture their 7th straight PBL Championship. As one of their key
players, CT also nabbed the Finals MVP trophy. With a rather quiet, but
strong disposition he is a true point guard in nature. As a student of
the game and of other point guards, onlookers have compared him to the
likes of NBA stars like Chris
Paul and Tim Hardaway. Chris prides himself on
observation, lots of discipline, good old fashioned hard work and prayer
to get him to the next level.
He previously played for the Toyota Sparks, also in the PBL during
the Flex Linoleum Cup; they failed to advance and decided to take a
hiatus for the next conference. CT was acquired by the Titans during the
dispersal draft.
