Career highlights and awards | |
Don Carlos Allado (born June 10, 1977) is a Filipino former professional basketball player and coach. He last played for the Star Hotshots im the Philippine Basketball Association and was one of the assistant coaches of the Adamson Falcons.
He started out his amateur career playing for De La Salle University in 1996 and was known as "The King Archer". He was the Most Valuable Player in his 3rd year after the elimination rounds in the 1998-1999 season (Season 61) as well as the Finals MVP after he helped the Green Archers defeat Far Eastern University in the UAAP Season 61 Finals . This was the first of La Salle's four championships (four-peat). He did it again the next season and captured the season MVP and finals MVP awards for the 1999-2000 season after defeating the UST Growling Tigers in overtime of the UAAP Season 62 Finals. He was a part of the mythical five teams since his sophomore year until his 4th year.
He also played in the Philippine Basketball League under Wilkins Distilled Water in 1998 for one conference until it disbanded. Welcoat Paints immediately picked up the talented power forward and won the first ever championship in franchise history. He was also named season MVP and finals MVP for the 1999-2000 season. He was also named into the mythical team for 2 years in a row.
He was the 8th overall pick in the 1999 PBA draft. After playing seven solid years with Alaska, in December 2006, he was shipped to the Talk 'N Text Phone Pals for Willie Miller and John Ferriols. Allado was again traded by the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters for Ranidel de Ocampo to the Air21 Express. He wasn't satisfied with the situation he was in so after one season with Air21, he requested to be sent immediately to the Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants/B-Meg Llamados.
