Kiefer Ravena admitted that he was surprised on how the All In basketball game turned out.
Speaking to a number of sportswriters after the game, the Ateneo King Eagle said, "Nagulat ako kasi akala namin streetball, puro dunk. Noong una, ganun, pero lumabas yung pagka-basketball niya. Di maiiwasan yun."
From an individual display of hops and handles, the charity event became a more serious basketball exhibition which ended on a game-winning layup by Ravena for the Tim Cone-led PCWorx against the Allen Iverson-coached Gawad Kalinga.
"Masaya ako," he said after nailing the go-ahead basket.
He added that what he will remember about Iverson's colorful NBA career was his confidence and his all-out style of play.
