Did you know that two of our basketball superstars of the 70s appeared together in the big screen? Hardcourt greats Robert 'The Big J' Jaworski of Meralco and Freddie 'Fastbreak Freddie' Webb of YCO (MICAA days) starred in the movie titled Fastbreak (1971). Fernando Poe, Jr. was instrumental in bringing the two together which Da King himself produced and directed under the pen name of D'lanor. Prior to this movie, both also starred in another movie, Dimasupil Brothers, but together with another basketball star, Alberto 'Big Boy' Reynoso. Webb was introduced in this picture.

They were like the legends! nice!
Does the Fastbreak film of Big J and Freddie Webb still exists, sana maipalabas pa sa TV.
I remember this film very well since not only was I a big Yco Painter fan (of Webb and Rene Canent) but the party portion of this move was shot at my neighbor's house (they made a lot of movies) I was about 11 when they shot the movie at night and even saw the "action" live. I use to live at speaker perez, about 2-3 lights away from the FPJ studio infron of Sienna
