Ginebra's Rebound King: Noli Locsin "The Tank"

In the 90s Ginebra (Gordon's Gin) had Noli Locsin as their Rebound King. Locsin took control of the boards making him almost always winning the "King of the Boards" title by end of the game (win or lose). He was the top rebounder of the PBA for 2 consecutive years despite only having a height of 6'2 feet and a weight of 250lbs. This was at a time when the tallest player in the PBA was his fellow team-mate EJ Feihl (7 feet) and Fil-Ams were just starting to enter the league. Locsin displayed prowess and court savvy when it comes to positioning himself right where the ball is expected to bounce off. He was often dubbed as the Charles Barkley or Dennis Rodman of the PBA and considered even by Coach Tim Cone (later becoming Ginebra's coach) as the strongest player in the PBA. Indeed one of the top Power Forwards of the 90s and even #robertjaworski proclaims Locsin to have "Ginebra Red Blood".
