New Milestones for Ginebra's Scottie Thompson

There is more to know and admire with one of the rising stars of the PBA Scottie Thomson. From his humble begingings at Palarong Pambansa then moved up to the NCAA as a player for University of Pertpetual Help and now part of Barangay Ginebra of the PBA.

He was destined to play basketball as his name was hailed from Scottie Pippen of the Chicago Bulls. The Thomson name came from his Great-grandfather which makes his name sound like an NBA player and given his height and talent for the game, it was not surprising that he would be drafted into the major leagues in the country.

Now he is also an endorser of Icy Cool Shake which serves different kinds of iced beverages and is open for franchise. It looks like Scottie Thompson is on his way to also become a brand ambassador along with his flourishing career.
