Known as “The Bullet” for his speed and pinpoint passing, Dindo Pumaren was the engine behind many great PBA offenses in the '90s. Pumaren began his career as early as 1989—crafting a legacy not through gaudy stats but through floor leadership, tenacious hustle, and court IQ that rarely made mistakes. A 4-time champion and a 2-time Mythical Second Team member, Pumaren may not have racked up individual accolades, but his impact as a steady, unselfish playmaker made him an invaluable part of every team he joined. Whether running the break, setting the pace, or locking horns with fellow guards, Dindo proved that every great team needs a point guard who keeps everything—and everyone—moving.
