Better late than never.
PBA’s reigning Most Valuable Player Scottie Thompson has finally earned his college diploma after eight years since last playing for University of Perpetual Help System Dalta in the NCAA.
Thompson joined hundreds of Perpetualites who marched at the Plenary Hall of the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex on Wednesday to get his college diploma.
“Gift ko itong pagtatapos ko ng college sa aming baby ni Jinky na si Aster Scottie Thompson,” said the Gilas Pilipinas player.
The Barangay Ginebra stalwart is now a holdee of a Business Administration degree, majoring in Marketing Management.
Thompson played in the NCAA for the UPHSD from 2011 to 2015. In 2014, he was named the NCAA Season 90 Most Valuable Player.
An injury barred him from joining the Gilas in a pocket tournament in China. But this allowed him to join some 671 Perpetual students who joined the graduation rites for the school year 2022-2023.
Last year, Perpetual retired Thompson’s No. 6 jersey for his achievements in the field of basketball after being named the PBA MVP and winning seven championships with the Kings.
