2017 PBA Draft: Zero in on Louie Vigil
Louie Vigil has joined the 2017 PBA Draft but for some insane reason, his name isn’t on the final list of applicants.

10 Worst PBA Drafts of All Time: Number Four
My fourth-worst draft is the event that ruined the PBA’s status. Since its inception in 1975, we have been programmed to understand that the PBA is the place for the best Philippine ballers. It was further reinforced with the inauguration of the Metropolitan Basketball Association or MBA. Many PBA players jumped to the … Continue reading 10 Worst PBA Drafts of All Time: Number Four

10 Worst PBA Drafts of All Time: Number Seven
1986 is a defining year for our country. Ferdinand Marcos fled the Philippines to “give” Cory Aquino the presidency (haha) and the PBA is a shell of its former self. Founding franchises Tanduay and Great Taste alongside Ginebra, Manila Beer, Shell, and the debuting Alaska squad were tasked to keep the league … Continue reading 10 Worst PBA Drafts of All Time: Number Seven
