bret_hart Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 dagdag ko lang Mon Fernandez's 5th MVP plum, lamang sya sa lahat ng categories, except that he didnt have Nap Guttierez.Alvin Patrimonio won via media votes. Peace sa Alvin fans natumbok mo! si Nap Gutierrez ang difference maker ni Patrimonio pagdating sa media votes... earl sonnt alvarado.. Sonny Alvarado doesn't deserve an MVP award, he's not a Filipino... Best import siguro pwede... Quote Link to comment

Samboy would be my choice for MVP, hands down. He had talent, he had heart. He just didn't have luck on his side. Quote Link to comment
AESOP Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 marlou aquino Quite agree of this one. Naalala ko nung rookie year nya 1st match upnila ni Benjie Paras. Supalpal si Paras d lang 1 ata 2 or 3 then the crowd is cheering "butata". Dun na magsimula si Paras maglaro ng perimeter dati puro inside. Another one is Nelson Asaytono statistics talagang pang MVP san ka nakakitana 1 player na buhat sa team. Take note Alaska kalaban nila... Quote Link to comment

jetrink Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I think Benjie Paras beat Fernandez when he was gunning for his 5th mvp not Alvin Patrimonio Yes this was in 1989. SMB won a grand slam with Don Ramon spearheading the team.But Benjie won both ROY and MVP. Benjie's manager then was Ronnie Nathanielsz.I remember that he threw a party for the sportswriters before the MVP voting. Paras' statistics were very good, but Fernandez was the best player on the best team that year.They really forced the "historic" situation of a rookie also winning an MVP.There were also some questions on Benjie's second MVP in 1999, but I think he deserved that one.

oracle_man Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Francis Arnaiz should have won the first MVP award if not for the twisted notion then that the MVP should come from the team that won the latest championship (Crispa). Toyota won the first 2 of 3 titles in that year. Quote Link to comment
encounter_doc Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 [Sonny Alvarado doesn't deserve an MVP award, he's not a Filipino... Best import siguro pwede... Make that the best Fil-Sham ever, hehehe If only he was a legitimate Fil-Am, he might have equalled or surpassed the 4 MVPs by Patrimonio and Fernandez by now. In 1999, the first time Menk saw Alvarado in practice, Alfrancis Chua (Tanduay coach at that time) told Menk that he now has a backup. Menk's reply to Chua was, "No coach, I will be his back up" Alvarado's "kevin garnett-like" averages in his short-lived PBA career (65 games) were: 23.2 ppg, 13.2 rpg, 3.8 apg, 2.16 spg, 1.1 bpg Alvarado's ethnicity was Puerto Rican.

o0onapstero0o Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 pa check nga po, if i remember it right. rookie pa lang si danny s when danny i got a mvp award(dont know if 1st or 2nd na nya iyon). pero naaalala ko si benjie paras pa nag introduced ng mvp awards at akala nga ng most of the audience may panibagong roy/mvp awardee na. i think benjie paras grab the mvp award that season!

o0onapstero0o Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Marlou Aquino if im not mistaken he won the award when gordons gin won the title w/ cris king! Quote Link to comment
encounter_doc Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 if im not mistaken he won the award when gordons gin won the title w/ cris king! You must be referring to the 1997 season, when Gordon's Gin won the Commisioner's Cup with Chris King as import. Nope, Patrimonio won the MVP award that season. Aquino had a good season as well, as he was named to the mythical 1st team, together with Patrimonio, Asaytono, Abbarientos, and Hizon. Quote Link to comment
