stormrider Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 What made Crispa withdraw from the PBA? The company (P. Floro & Sons, Inc.) was financially in trouble after the Aquino assasination. After the 1984 season, the company decided to sell its PBA franchise to Pilipinas Shell. Around 1989, Danny Floro was interested to rejoin the league. Unfortunately, he couldn't provide a long-term guarantee that the PBA wanted (the Floro Group of companies was still financially unstable at the time). Danny Floro died in 1995. Quote Link to comment
SaintPeter5858 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Yeah, Shell used to be one of the best too Quote Link to comment
rafael77 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Powerade will soon become one of the best teams! poweraide may not be the best team in the pba, but they are the best team to watch. they're the modern day ginebra. no superstars but they always find a way to win. its the heart that ginebra under jaworski used to have. pity that they will be disbanded soon.

SaintPeter5858 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Majority of our young people right now don't care about history of decades past. All those aging 15-18 years old, they don't care about jaworski or Fernandez or Guidaben or Locsin or Lastimosa anymore. So they care less also about the champion teams when these players were shining. Young basketball fans care only about the present and the future so they focus on Yap, Caguioa, Norwood, Kelly Williams, Ravena, Salva, Parks, Teng brothers, Slaughter etc. who are giving them more excitement especially in the way these young players play. So the best teams are those that are winning during the past 3 or so years and those that are fighting for championship right now like BMeg and Rain or Shine because they still can duplicate their championships in the coming years.
