Sta. Lucia Realtors

Sta Lucia's C/F for over a decade.

The team Captain of SLR and leader of this team. For me, he is one of the most underrated player in the history of the League. I remember him losing a Best Player of the Conference award to Danny Ildefonso (which i believe he should've won) in 2001. It's a close decision but i'm still upset that he did'nt win that award. Ildefonso eventually won the MVP that year.

Through the years, he has proven to be consistent and a player at crunch time. He is a player who you can depend on when the going gets tough and he can deliver under pressure. Great defender in the post and one of the few Pure Pinoy who stands his ground during the Fil-Am invasion.
He is now playing for the Coca Cola Tigers in the PBA. I hope he finds his way back to SLR before he retires.

From Wiki

Espino, a 6-foot-6 banger who loves to play physically, is a cornerstone of the Sta. Lucia franchise. Being a Realtor since his rookie year, he has helped the team win two PBA championships. After playing under the shadows of Jun Limpot for seven years, Dennis Espino became the heart-and-soul of Sta. Lucia when his celebrated teammate was sent to Ginebra via a trade with Marlou Aquino in 2000. The former UAAP MVP showed signs that he is capable of the responsibility after braving the role as the team's go-to-guy.

He also played for the Philippine Centennial Team in 1998.
