LA Tenorio
Lewis Alfred Vasquez Tenorio (born July 9, 1984) is a Filipino professional basketball player and head coach for the Magnolia Chicken Timplados Hotshots of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) and the Gilas Youth. He was an assistant coach for the Letran Knights of the Philippines' NCAA.
Tenorio played for the Ateneo Blue Eagles in college, winning a UAAP title in Season 65 (2002). In 2006, he was selected by the San Miguel Beermen with the fourth pick of the 2006 PBA draft. He then was selected to the All-Rookie Team.
In 2008, Tenorio was traded to the Alaska Aces, where he earned his first all-star selection in 2009, as well as his first title, Finals MVP, and Mythical Team selection in 2010. He also won the Most Improved Player that year.
In 2012, Tenorio was traded to the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel where he had his most successful stint in the league, winning seven titles and three Finals MVPs. He also holds the record for most consecutive PBA games played at 744 before suffering a groin injury in March 2023. Later that month, he was also diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. After being cleared in September, he then returned to playing in December. After thirteen years of play with Ginebra, Tenorio was appointed as head coach of the Magnolia Chicken Timplados Hotshots in 2025.
During his nineteen-year PBA playing career, Tenorio won a total of eight titles, four Finals MVPs, ten all-star selections, and four Mythical Team selections.
Tenorio started playing basketball when he was 6 years old. No one really saw him play or his potential, but he tried his luck to join a basketball team when he was in grade three at Don Bosco Technical Institute of Makati. He, then in sixth grade, played a nationally televised exhibition game in front of a PBA audience. His team faced the Ateneo Grade School's Small Basketeers Team. Tenorio's team did not win, but he pretty much stole the show, scoring 31 points in only 21 minutes of play.
After his elementary days were over, he first went to Adamson under coach Charlie Dy before eventually transferring to San Beda under legendary bench tactician Ato Badolato. LA became part of a Bedan squad that was rife with future collegiate stars – Magnum Membrere, Arjun Cordero, Toti Almeda, and Jon Jon Tabique. He won a title in his junior year, but finished just third in his last year with the Red Cubs.
Tenorio made an immediate impact as a rookie for the Blue Eagles of Ateneo de Manila University as he helped lead his team into the 2001 basketball finals of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). He was practically unstoppable in game 3 of the best-of-3 finals series as he scored 30 points against their college rival De La Salle Green Archers. DLSU-Manila however would go on to win that series.
