Spoiler alert: The last two entries on this list has the letters M, B, and A connected to it. It’s also in some ways associated with Fil-Shams, Bureau of Immigration, expansion squads, and the uselessness of the PBA Draft. Before this time, the PBA is the only professional basketball in league in the Philippines. … Continue reading 10 Worst PBA Drafts of All Time: Number Two

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.

But with just five drafted players and a record-low eight applicants, the prestige of the draft was somewhat tarnished. The 1985 PBA Draft on the other hand failed to give the spectacle its inaugural oomph. Shell … Continue reading 10 Worst PBA Drafts of All Time: Number Eight
