Timeline
Philip Dudley Cezar (born December 1, 1952) is a Filipino former basketball coach, player and politician.
He was also a many-time Philippine national team player in the 1970s.
Coming from the JRU Heavy Bombers, some consider Cezar the best “thinking” power forward in the history of the PBA.
Known by the monikers "Mr. Stretch", "Tapal King" and "The Scholar", he was part of the fabled Crispa Redmanizers ballclub of the Philippine Basketball Association that won two Grand Slams in 1976 and 1983.
Though barely 6'3" and less than 200 pounds, he was usually given the unenviable task of guarding tall imports from opposing teams. On defense, his unusually long arms served him in good stead, using them in his famous "umbrella-like" defense and two-handed shot-blocks. And though he played the No. 4 position for most of his career, he was like a second point guard on the floor, often orchestrating big plays and dishing out timely passes. He could also run the floor and finish fastbreaks with his patented "stretch" lay-up. He is best remembered as the very first one-on-one champion of the league when he defeated Ramon Fernandez in the finals of the 1979 Sprite One-on-One challenge where he won ₱25,000.00.
He was named the Most Valuable Player in 1980.
He served as a long-time assistant coach to his former longtime rival Jaworski during the champion teams of Ginebra in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Cezar served as Vice Mayor of San Juan, Metro Manila under Mayor Jinggoy Estrada from 1992 to 2001.
In 2000, he was named as one of the PBA's 25 greatest players of all-time in elaborate awards ceremonies that highlighted the 25th anniversary of the league.
In 2000, he coached the San Juan Knights to a championship in the now defunct Metropolitan Basketball Association beating the Negros Slashers in six games, 4-2.
Months prior to the 2001 elections, he was appointed as Acting Mayor of San Juan while Estrada was serving his suspension due to plunder charges leveled against him and his father, former Philippine President Joseph Estrada.
He retired from politics in 2001.
On October 8, 2021, Cezar filed his Certificate of Candidacy to run for Vice Mayor of San Juan in 2022 under Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino.
He is the running mate of San Juan Knights team manager Felix Usman, who is running for mayor.
However, he lost to incumbent vice mayor Warren Villa.
In 2004, he was named commissioner of the Universities and Colleges Athletic Association for its third season.
In 2005, he was one of the twelve initial inductees to the PBA Hall of Fame alongside fellow Crispa players Atoy Co and Bogs Adornado, and Toyota stalwarts Robert Jaworski, Francis Arnaiz and Fernandez together with former PBA Commissioners Leo Prieto, Emerson Coseteng and Atty. Rudy Salud as well as legendary Crispa coach and team manager, respectively, Virgilio "Baby" Dalupan and Danny Floro, and the late anchorman Joe Cantada.
He finished his illustrious PBA career as the No.6 all-time leading scorer with 12,077 points behind Fernandez, Abet Guidaben, Patrimonio, Atoy Co and Asaytono.
He also is the fifth all-time best rebounder with 5,834 total rebounds behind Fernandez, Guidaben, Jerry Codiñera and Patrimonio and was No. 2 in shotblocks with 1,370.
He also had 3,130 assists (3.4 assists per game), 599 steals, converted 2066/2767 free throws in 28127:05 minutes played in 918 games.
He, along with Fernandez, are the only two players in PBA history who has accumulated at least 12,000 points, 5,000 rebounds and 1,000 shot blocks.
After his retirement, Cezar went to coaching.
In 2005, he accepted the job as the new head coach of the Philippine School of Business Administration.
In 2013, he was appointed by then Manila mayor Joseph Estrada as head of Manila's sports council.
He was the coach of the Manila Stars in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).
He held both positions until May 2019.
