About the Player

Gary David is a Filipino professional basketball player of the Philippine Basketball Association. He is currently playing for the Air21 Express. He is the superstar of the team. He is called by his famous monicker of Mr. Pure Energy or even The King.

PBA Career

Considered to be a major steal in 2005 mid season, Gary David has brought high energy to Air21’s running game that led to the Express’ third place finish in the 31st PBA Fiesta Conference.

David exploded for 19 points to carry Air21 to its first-ever Final Four appearance after upsetting the Darvin Ham-led Talk ‘N Text Phone Pals, 117-110, in Game 5 of quarterfinals of 31st Fiesta Conference last January 20, 2006 in Antipolo City.

If not for an elbow injury, David was on the verge of having an impressive season last year. But David still surpassed his point production from 6.9 points during his rookie year to 9.9 in the 2005-06 season and posted a career-high 28 points in one game.

Despite several injuries in the past, David, 28, has now become Air21’s newest certified scorer after former franchise player Renren Ritualo was shipped to Talk ‘N Text and energetic Ronald Tubid to Ginebra last year.

The 2003 PBL MVP, played under Montana, emerged from being an effective role player to superstar status after improving his numbers in the last two conferences, where he also captured various awards.

He averaged 22.1 points in 17 games last Fiesta Conference to send the Express to quarterfinals against Talk ‘N Text, but his absence due to ACL injury had cost the Express their semifinal bid.
