Mikee Reyes

Miguel Antonio "Mikee" Reyes (born October 30, 1990) is a Filipino former professional basketball player who is a podcaster, media personality and sports analyst for One Sports.

In 2008, he led them in a 125-point blowout win over the Mapúa Red Robins.

LSGH got as far as the semis in the playoffs, where they finished 4th.

Reyes was recruited by La Salle, but decided to play for the UP Fighting Maroons instead, as the Maroons were underdogs at the time and hadn't won many games in the previous seasons.

UP head coach Aboy Castro likened him to Jimmy Alapag due to his speed and good perimeter shooting.

In his rookie season, Reyes' season-high was 25 points in a win over the DLSU Green Archers, and he also had five rebounds and six assists in that win.

This was the first win that he had played in since 2009.

A bonfire celebration was held at UP Diliman's Sunken Garden after the win.

The Maroons couldn't keep the momentum going in their next game, which they lost to the UE Red Warriors despite his 19 points on four triples.

He then had 14 points and 22 points in UP's next two losses, which were to the UST Growling Tigers and to DLSU respectively.

Against the Ateneo Blue Eagles, he scored 15 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, but missed two free throws with less than a second remaining that could have given UP the upset win.

The Falcons got their revenge on them in the final game of the season, but the Maroons still finished with higher than them in the standings, as they had a bigger winning margin over them in their first meeting.

In 2010, Reyes had a new head coach in Ricky Dandan as Castro had coached the team to a 0–14 record.

He missed two full seasons due to shoulder injuries.

Although Adamson cut into the lead, UP still managed to pull off the win, ending a 27-game losing streak that had ongoing since 2012.

In 2013, he left the team.

He returned the following year and helped the Maroons end their 27-game losing streak.

After being drafted by the KaTropa, he didn't play in the PBA.

Instead, he played in other leagues such as the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) and the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).

Reyes then set up his own podcast, the Shoot First Podcast.

The success of that podcast then led to him being an NCAA analyst for GMA Network, and then a basketball analyst for One Sports, and a sports presenter for Frontline Pilipinas.

Reyes grew up with both parents and his four sisters.

His father was a former San Beda Red Lion who introduced him to basketball at a young age.

He started attending basketball camps while he was in prep at Ateneo.

In high school, Reyes played for La Salle Green Hills.

He had been cut from the high school varsity team of Ateneo.

He returned in 2013, where in the opening game against the Adamson Falcons, Dandan benched him in the second half despite him being the starting point guard.

He was then relegated to third team point guard and Dandan told him that the team "didn't need you to win".

This caused him to leave the team after just one game into the season.

After leaving UP, Reyes found himself playing in the PBA D-League as part of Blackwater Sports.

After Dandan was fired midway through Season 76, he wanted to return to the Maroons.

He returned to the lineup for Season 77.

That would be the last win he played in until 2014.

On August 9, 2014, he scored a career-high 28 points against the Falcons and sparked a 12–0 run in the third quarter that gave UP a lead as high as 24 points.

In January 2015, despite having one more playing year left, Reyes announced that he would not be returning to UP.

Reyes played for the Pampanga Foton Tornadoes in the Filsports Basketball Association (FBA) in 2015, but it was during this time that he suffered an ACL tear.

He also played for them in the Pilipinas Commercial Basketball League (PCBL).

He was selected 24th overall by the TNT KaTropa in the 2016 PBA draft.

He played college basketball for the UP Fighting Maroons.

In college, Reyes was known for his scoring.
