Pba's Best Teams


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Three teams and four coaches have achieved the Grand Slam feat:

 

Season Team Coach Defeated finalists Season record

 

1976 Crispa Redmanizers Baby Dalupan Toyota Toyota Toyota 47-15 (.758)

1983 Crispa Redmanizers Tommy Manotoc Gilbey's Great Taste Great Taste 46-16 (.742)

1989 San Miguel Beermen Norman Black Shell Purefoods Añejo 50-21 (.704)

1996 Alaska Milkmen Tim Cone Purefoods Shell Ginebra 51-21 (.708)

 

In addition, several others won the first two conferences but were beaten on the last tournament. They are known as "The Pretenders".

 

1975 Toyota Tamaraws (lost to Crispa in the All-Philippine Championship)

1977 Crispa Redmanizers (lost to Toyota in the Invitational Conference)

1985 Great Taste Coffee Makers (missed Finals berth in the Reinforced Conference)

1986 Tanduay Rhum Masters (missed Finals berth in the Open Conference)

1995 Sunkist Orange Juicers (missed Finals berth in the Governors Cup)

1998 Alaska Milkmen (missed Finals berth in the Governors Cup)

2004 PBA Fiesta Conference to 2004–05 Barangay Ginebra Kings (missed Finals berth in the Fiesta Conference)

2010-11 Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters (lost to Petron in the Governors Cup)

 

In other instances, a team won three or even four consecutive conferences in two different seasons. Purists say this is not a true grand slam. These teams were:

 

1976-1977 Crispa Redmanizers (includes the 1976 All-Philippine Championship which was part of the 1976 Grand Slam)

1984-1985 Great Taste Coffee Makers (four straight championships)

1995-1996 Alaska Milkmen (four straight championship '95 Governor's Cup and '96 Grand Slam)

1997-1998 Alaska Milkmen (three straight championships)

2000-2001 San Miguel Beermen (three straight championships)

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.
