Famous for his stint in the Philippine Basketball Association, Alex Crisano, born and raised in New York, has been a household name as one of the most controversial figures in the country. But not known to many, Alex is also a proud father of three kids who are currently away from him but loves and misses them every minute.
During our interview with him, we found out that Alex just renewed a contract with Barako Bull Energy Boosters last month and will start to hit the hard court soon. But what keeps him going these days are his three gorgeous children, Alex Louis Crisano Jr, 9, Aliyah Marie Crisano, 7 and his five-year old boy Joey Vincent Sario. That when asked about their names, Alex would proudly tells us that he wants them to carry his family’s name so that people would easily remember them as his most loving clan. What makes him even prouder, that at an early age; his kids have also the makings of both basketball and TV star wannabes with their talents and towering height just like their father.
Alex the father, who believes that a team needs a leader, treats his kids like his players. He rewards them when they make good points but calls a foul them when they do a bad move. I take away the things they love to do like watching TV and games. And as part of his punishing acts, Alex wants that his children understands what they’ve done wrong. He would always ask his kids to stay in the room, watch TV and are only allowed to go out when being called to eat.
Other than punishment, what Alex loves about becoming a parent is the act of instilling good values while seeing them grow as better individuals. He always laughs when he remembered about his sleepless nights when his darlings are still newborns. But now that they’re all grown-ups, he enjoys cuddling them a lot and showing them all the love and affection that he can give.
Alex Crisano, basketball star cum father will always consider parenthood as the biggest milestone in his life. He will always be the father that will love Alex, Aliyah and Vinny every second of his lifetime.
And what Dad would usually say, “I will always be here for you
and I’ll be watching your back at all times, Love Daddy.”
