Popular PBA cager Alex Crisano is also known as d entertainer not only for his superb basketball moves that fascinates viewers but because of his diverse talents that keeps everyone amused.
Crisano can sing, dance, and rap besides handling the ball faultlessly. Last Sunday, Crisano once again showcased his talent when he appeared at P.O.5 (Party On 5), TV5’s new interactive musical-variety show. He joined the singing segment and even did a ballroom dance number, to everyone’s enthrallment. Alex hopes to join the TV5 family as a regular talent.
The 33-year-old Crisano has spent 10 years in the PBA with Ginebra and Red Bull. He started playing b-ball at 6 and has since liked the physical aspect of the sport. At 6’7”, he can also take anyone down in boxing or mixed martial arts—two sports he would also like to get into if given the chance. The Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines (ABAP) offered him to join the national team as a heavyweight boxer but Alex wanted to stay in basketball then.
The quite controversial basketball star is keeping a low profile nowadays but is always open for any new opportunity that may come his way. Confessing of being a “bad boy” in the past and figuring in several scandals, Crisano has admitted he made mistakes but have learned from them. “Who does not make mistakes? That’s how it is in life.
You make mistakes and you learn from those mistakes in order to come out as a better person,” he adds.
Unafraid to try anything fresh, Alex underwent body sculpting that gave his already buffed body perfectly chiseled abs, shoulders, chest and sides.
Behind the seemingly daunting appearance with eight-pack abs and tattooed back and arms, Crisano has a soft side that many people fail to see. He is a loving father to his three children who are all in the US. In the future, he wants to be with his family back in the States. Despite his many achievements in sports, Alex still thinks that parenthood is the biggest milestone in his life and being the father of Alex, Aliyah and Vinny is still the greatest role he will ever play.
Along with being a responsible father, Alex is also trying to earn extra income by doing rap gigs. The soft-hearted giant also helps a foundation for streetchildren.
Alex says, “I want people to see the other side of me.
I also have a softer side.”
At the end of the day, Crisano just wants people to remember him as the underdog who has changed many lives, including his own. #
