The 30-year-old will experience the atmosphere of the finals for the first time when Tropang Giga (Stunt Team) will face Barangay Ginebra Kings in the best-of-seven finals, which will officially kick off on Sunday at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
Nambatak was surprised by the short time he was able to compete with the team for the title. “It was so fast,” he said. “It felt like I just joined.” He recalled joining the Stunt team before the start of the 49th season through a deal with Blackwater that also involved two future draft picks.
He said the team’s warm welcome had made his transition “incredibly smooth,” with everyone from top management and coaches to players and team staff giving him tremendous support.
