Arvin Tolentino wins BPC in Philippine Basketball Association

Arvin Tolentino, a standout player for NorthPort in the PBA, has quickly risen to prominence in just five seasons. He recently won the Best Player of the Conference (BPC) award during the Commissioner’s Cup, highlighting his talent and hard work. Tolentino believes in dreaming big, which he says is key to his success. With his recent achievement, Tolentino has become a contender for the season’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) award. He acknowledges the challenge ahead but stays focused on helping his team win games rather than worrying too much about the MVP trophy. He said, “You’re not gonna get it if you’re not gonna win a lot of games.” Tolentino's performances in the Commissioner’s Cup have been impressive, averaging 20.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, and several assists. He achieved two triple-doubles while playing alongside import Kadeem Jack. The 29-year-old is excited about the upcoming Philippine Cup, where he hopes to continue showcasing his abilities. Despite his personal ambitions, Tolentino's main goal is to prioritize NorthPort's success. He feels that achieving individual accolades is a bonus on top of his desire to win a championship. He remains dedicated to improving, stating, “Every day, I just push myself… to really just be better.” As the season progresses, Tolentino's hard work and determination will likely keep him in the conversation for the MVP award. He firmly believes that to be the best, one must work the hardest and compete fiercely against others.
