}} Jean Marc Pingris, Jr. (born October 16, 1981) is a Filipino professional basketball player currently playing for the Star Hotshots in the Philippine Basketball Association. Born in Pozorrubio, Pangasinan, Pingris started his career in the PBA at the 2004 PBA draft which featured James Yap, Gary David, Ranidel de Ocampo, Rich Alvarez and Nelbert Omolon. Pingris was drafted by the FedEx Express with the 3rd overall pick, but was quickly traded to the Purefoods TJ Hotdogs along with Egay Billones. It is with Purefoods that Pingris established his reputation as perhaps the best defender in the PBA today. ==Early life and college career== Marc Pingris was born on October 16, 1981 to Jean Marc Pingris, Sr., a French, and Erlinda Prado, a former saleswoman at SM Cubao.

After his classes, he would study his lessons and do his homework then go to their barangay court to practice his "Jordan-like" skills in basketball. When he has no classes he would call up his friends and play basketball in other barangays. In high school, Pingris tried to play in their school try-outs but he was not accepted, but when he was in 2nd year he was finally accepted to their school's varsity team. During his collegiate years, he would go play for the varsity basketball team of the Philippine School of Business Administration. However, he started his career at the Far Eastern University, Manila where he was formally discovered.
