Hot-shot cager scores off court

The daughter of a sports-loving politician linked romantically to a basketball star is now pregnant, a juicy tip an insider among the athlete’s fan base dropped to Nosy Tarsee.

“Buntis na si — blank. Si — blankety blank — ang ama,” the source said in a text message. (Blank’s pregnant. Blankety’s the dad.)

The couple’s romance had long been gossip fodder until the woman’s father — the politician himself — publicly shrugged it off, saying he saw nothing wrong with the pairing.

“Pero parang karma naman kay — blankety dad — Playboy din naman siya noong kabataan niya,” the source added. (It’s like karma for dad. He was also a playboy in his youth.)

The daughter, like her father, made her name in sports — the very discipline he once coached her in.

The cager, meanwhile, has had a playboy reputation for years, one overshadowed by an earlier, murkier episode.

“Way back in college, he snuck into a girl’s dorm. The student he had a one-night stand with later fell for him — she was a pro athlete herself, in a different sport. That fling ended up wrecking her career. We all know why,” the source said.

Good thing this couple is rich. A comfortable life awaits them either way.
