Twilight
However, an aging King suddenly found no takers during the early 90's . Patrimonio heard of King's interest to join Tondeña and pleaded with Purefoods management to get King "at all cost." The Captain probably feared that a Chito Loyzaga was already a major headache for him at defense, what more if you add a King? Purefoods relented and signed up King for a one season contract with the Hotdogs where he played a major role as the defensive player assigned to guard the imports of the other teams. From a one season stint with Purefoods, King's contract with the team was extended to another year. He won his last two PBA championships with the Hotdogs.
King faded from the limelight in the mid-90's and decided to migrate to the United States. He was the president of the PBA Legends Foundation USA.

Famous quotes containing the word twilight:
“I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“The eastern light our spires touch at morning,
The light that slants upon our western doors at evening,
The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight,
Moon light and star light, owl and moth light,
Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade.
O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The twilight is long fingers and black hair.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
