 Alvin Patrimonio, during his peak, halcyon days of the early 1990s, badly wanted an aging King to be part of Purefoods simply because he feared having King on the other side of the court defending him.Finally, a PBA player was recognized for his ability to defend players and King became the yardstick of what defenders should be in the coming years.King finished his PBA career as one of only eight local players with more than 5,000 rebounds, 1,942 of which came from the offensive glass.
