Guys, please correct me here.

 

I believe one of the greatest NBA players who played in the PBA was Calvin Murphy, for Toyota.  He had already practically retired from the NBA at the time, and he couldn't fit into the Toyota system because he was just one guard too many.  He had a forgettable stint, since there was already a great "Batman and Robin" tandem at Toyota at the time.

i don't remember if murphy played in the PBA.

 

one of the top NBA players who played in the PBA was Kevin Porter. he led the NBA in assists for 4 seasons. and he once held the record for most assist in a game (29. which was later broken by scott Skiles' 30)

Did Porter play for Toyota? Then he might be the one I was referring to.

Anyone remembers Vincent Askew who played for Shell and after his stint in the PBA was recruited by the Seattle Supersonics in the NBA. He is a starter for his team for a few years in the NBA.

bigla ko lang naalala iyong "fateful 16 seconds" na iyon. si andrew fields yata ang import ng toyota at the time. di ko malimutan si fields dahil pag tinranslate mo sa tagalog ang pangalan niya eh, andres bukid.

 

anyway, para sa akin, si bobby parks pa rin ang all-time best import, followed by black, bates, and chambers. definitely, bates has to be the flashiest of all time, i think he was with crispa then, kaya nakakalungkot nung mga huli niyang seasons dahil di na siya ganun kagaling.

Yep. Cerified scorer at all levels. HS, college and pros (NBA). One of the highest scorers, both total and averages in the US NCAA (I think he scored 75 pts once in college).

Anybody remembers the exhibition game between the PBA selection (including imports) and the NBA champs Washington Bullets? I remember Joe Cantada introducing the PBA selection as the CANONBALLS to the delight of everybody at the Araneta Coliseum.
