[Title] => Go, Johnny, go!
[Summary] =>
Matindi pa rin talaga itong si Johnny Abarrientos at ito ang ipinaalam niya sa dati niyang koponang Coca-Cola Tigers noong Huwebes nang tulungan niya ang Barangay Ginebra na maiposte ang ikatlong sunod na panalo, 101-97.
Walong puntos ang ginawa ni Abarrientos sa fourth quarter upang tuluyang maipagpag ng Gin Kings ang hamon ng Tigers. Ang manlalarong tinaguriang "The Flying A" ay nagtapos nang may 16 puntos, apat na rebounds, apat na assists at limang steals.

[Title] => The Flying A’s last flight?
[Summary] =>
Johnny Abarrientos has been through a lot in his stellar career. He teamed up with Vic Pablo to make Far Eastern University a powerhouse in the UAAP in the late 1980’s, before wearing the national colors and winning a gold medal in the 1991 Manila Southeast Asian Games. The starting point guard on an Alaska team that won a string of PBA championships, he became Most Valuable Player in 1996, the smallest player to earn the award.
Then, he was surprised to learn he had been traded to Pop Cola (later Coca-Cola), a painful experience which took him years to get over.

[Title] => Reunion sa Alaska Aces?
[Summary] =>
Matagal nang sinabi ni Alaska Aces coach Tim Cone na nais niyang maibalik sa kanyang koponan si Johnny Abarrientos na naging bahagi ng napakaraming kampeonato kasama na ang isang Grand Slam ng Aces.
At nito ngang nakaraang linggo’y lumabas ang balitang kinakausap ng Alaska ang Coca-Cola hinggil sa posibilidad na isang trade. Kung magtatagumpay ang Alaska na makumbinsi ang Coca-Cola na pawalan si Abarrientos, ang manlalarong tinaguriang "The Flying A" ay magsisilbing chief back-up ni Mike Cortez na kamakailan ay pumira ng contract extension sa Aces.

[Title] => Alaska wants Johnny A back
[Summary] =>
Alaska Milk wants to further beef up a talent-laden backcourt as it tries to lure back Johnny Abarrientos to its lineup with the 1996 Most Valuable Player awardee’s contract with Coca-Cola expiring Sept. 30.
Coach Tim Cone said they’re keeping their door open for the return of Abarrientos although the Uytengsu franchise has just given main man Mike Cortez a new three-year contract. The Aces are loaded at the backcourt with pointguards Cortez, Willie Miller and Rensy Bajar.

[Title] => Flying A chasing records
[Summary] => Coca-Cola point guard Johnny Abarrientos was in scintillating form as he powered the Tigers to a 92-84 win over Barangay Ginebra at the Big Dome last Sunday.
The quickness was back. The leadership was evident. And the intelligence took care of the rest.
Abarrientos, 33, sat out 14 games last season and doubters speculated he’d never regain the poise that characterized his MVP performance as Alaska’s quarterback in 1996 when the Uytengsu franchise captured a Grand Slam.

[Title] => Lumilipad ulit ang "flying a"
[Summary] => ANU’T anuman ang mangyari o nangyari na sa Finals ng Samsung-PBA All-Filipino Cup ay napatunayan na ni Johnny Abarrientos na kaya pa niyang agawing muli ang titulo bilang pinakamahusay na point guard sa liga at hindi pa tapos ang pamamayagpag ng manlalarong tinaguriang "Flying A."
Aba’y malaki ang naiambag niya sa Coca-Cola Tigers sa Finals kung saan tumaas ang kanyang mga numero. Hang-gang sa Game-Six ay nag-average siya ng double figures sa scoring nang gumawa siya ng 11.6 puntos kada laro. Bukod dito’y mayroon pa siyang 4.6 rebounds at 5.2 assists.

[Title] => Flying A at the crossroads
[Summary] => Coca-Cola guard Johnny Abarrientos has something to prove in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) All-Filipino Cup Finals.
Even since he was traded by Alaska to Pop Cola at the end of the 2000 season, the Flying A has been the subject of speculation that he’s a drug user or an inveterate gambler. As his weight dropped considerably because doctors ordered a strict diet to lessen the strain on his battered knees, the rumors got worse.
