Kia taps ex-GlobalPort import Markeith Cummings as replacement for overheight Chane Behanan


KIA Picanto has found its replacement import in Markeith Cummings in time for the opening night of the PBA Governors’ Cup on Wednesday at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum.

After second choice Chane Behanan went a sliver – or 1/16 of an inch to be exact – above the 6-foot-5 limit for reinforcements, the Picanto turned to a familiar name in Cummings, who suited up for GlobalPort in the season-ending tournament four years ago.

Team manager Eric Pineda and coach Chris Gavina confirmed the news in separate text messages on Saturday, saying Cummings is set to arrive on Sunday.

The 6-foot-5 Cummings led the Batang Pier to a quarterfinal appearance in his stay here, averaging 28.7 points on 60.1-percent shooting and 45.2% from beyond the arc, 10 boards, three assists, 1.8 steals, and 0.7 block in 43.4 minutes in the eliminations before they lost to Rain or Shine in one game in the playoffs.

The 28-year-old Cummings’ 2013 stint with the Batang Pier was his first international foray, becoming an NBA D-League veteran after that before having appearances in Poland, Egypt, and most recently Lebanon.

The Picanto take on Phoenix in the first game of the opening-night doubleheader at 4:15 p.m.

10 Top Sexiest League of Legends Skins

One of the largest games in the world, League of Legends is no stranger to well-done character creation and character appearance. As a Free To Play game, though, Riot Games, the game's creator, needed a way to recoup their costs and make it a truly profitable game. Enter the idea of skins. Just like many other Free to Play games, players can purchase new champion outfits (also known as skins) to customize their champion in a new way. As over 90% of League of Legends players are male, it may come as no surprise that many of the female champion skins are pretty easy on the eyes. Short skirts, bare stomachs, and long legs are the par for many of the available female champion skins. Not all sexy skins are created equal, though. Here at some of the 10 Top Sexiest League of Legends skins. Some are still available for purchase while others will just have to be something you lust over. Click Here to Continue
