Purefoods TJ Giants Basketball
The Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants is a professional basketball team of the Philippine Basketball Association owned by the San Miguel-Purefoods Company, Inc., a company of the San Miguel Corporation. Its head coach is Ryan Gregorio. The Purefoods Corporation, once part of the Ayala Group of Companies, bought the Tanduay franchise prior to the 1988 PBA season. Purefoods-Hormel Corporation was later bought by SMC in 2001 with the team retaining their colors. The team later got its new moniker, Tender Juicy Giants, starting in the 2007 PBA Fiesta Conference. Arguably, the most popular Purefoods player is Alvin Patrimonio, who led the franchise to six championships in the 1990s and early 2000s, and was named Most Valuable Player four times. Patrimonio retired in 2004 to concentrate more on his duties as team manager for his team. Their main rivals are the Alaska Aces and the Barangay Ginebra Kings, although Ginebra is their sister team.
