I have been receiving a lot of requests on Filipino Champ Zoren James Aranas Dodong Diamond and Team Roy's Basement.

Can't blame friends for wanting to know more. Truth be told, the kid is really good - pretty dangerous on the green felt. And Dodong is one of the nicest persons on the planet. Moreover, he is one of the most disciplined and hardest working professionals I've seen.

.
A popular query is where does Dodong Diamond spend his time when not competing? Well, more often than not, he can be found on the green felt - practicing - at the basement of the lovely home of the patriarch of the team, Mr. Ariel Roy Francisco.

Here are a couple of photos -> straight from the basement of Roy's Basement. Do you notice the mural in the background? That is one awesome tribute to our Filipino champions who continue to inspire each and every pool player, regardless of race, creed, color, and religion, across the world! Take time to view it up close. You'll be glad you did.

.
For buddies who may have missed it, Dodong Diamond was the inaugural champion of the Asian Culture Day - Efren Reyes Retirement Tour, which was recently held at The Orleans Hotel and Casino - Las Vegas.

If you think that's impressive, which IT IS, Dodong Diamond also won the 2018 Maryland State 9-Ball Championship just a few days ago! Back-to-back wins, folks!

Dodong has won a total of 9 championships - out of the 12 he participated in! And that is just for this year alone! Amazing! And I kid you not!

.
And for pals wishing more more, I did several posts on Dodong Diamond and Roy's Basement. The two below are my favorites. Hope you like em. Links are here, friends:

I’m going to be a little picky here.....:o
I don’t like James’ pool nick names...they sound trite...
