He was nicknamed Showtime (or Mr. Showtime)[1] while he was on Alaska due to his speed, scoring and skills,[2] and The Tinyente due to the initials of his name (L.T.), which is also an abbreviation for lieutenant.[3] In Barangay Ginebra, he earned the nickname GINeral (combination of Ginebra's product, gin, and the word general) for his great skills as a point guard and his passing ability.[4]
