Kris Aquino on son Bimby pursuing basketball: “I’ve said this, ayoko ng team sports”

<p>Being the son of basketball star James Yap, it is not impossible for Bimby to take after his father’s skills and enthusiasm for the sport one day. With this, it is also not surprising if people would root for the child to follow in his father’s footsteps in court once the right time comes.</p><p>But, if it were up to the child’s mother, Kris Aquino, she would rather have Bimby veer away from all the shooting and dribbling – or any other team sports, for that matter. This, she shared when a fan commented on her younger son’s recent growth in height, and mentioned the probability of him being a basketball player like James.</p><p> “OMG, ang tangkad pala ni Bimb. Biglang laki. Hindi pa ‘yan I think growth spurt kasi ang bata pa niya. Would you let him do basketball [Kris Aquino]?,” asked the netizen.</p><div><u><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2018/11/30/fresh-scoops/kris-aquino-invites-atty-gideon-pena-for-next-chr-197060">READ: Kris Aquino invites Atty.

No offense to her ex-husband James Yap, but the Queen of All Media would rather have her son away from doing basketball or any other team sports, for that matter.
