Philippine Basketball Association From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) is a men's professional basketball league in the Philippines composed of twelve companybranded franchised teams. It is the first professional basketball league in Asia and is the second oldest continuously existing in the world after the NBA.[3] The league's regulations are a hybrid of rules from the NBA.
Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Current season, competition or edition: 2016–17 PBA Philippine Cup
The league played its first game at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on April 9, 1975.[4] Their main offices are located along Eulogio Rodriguez Jr. Avenue (C5 road), Eastwood City, Libis, Quezon City. The league is currently headed by commissioner Chito Narvasa.

History The Philippine Basketball Association was founded when nine teams left the nowdefunct Manila Industrial and Commercial Athletic Association (MICAA), which was tightly controlled by the Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP), the FIBArecognized national association at the time.[5] With the BAP controlling the MICAA, the league was de jure amateur, as players were only paid allowances. This is much like what was done in other https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Basketball_Association

countries to circumvent the amateur requirement and to play in FIBAsanctioned tournaments such as the Olympics. MICAA team owners are not pleased on how BAP, then led by Gonzalo "Lito" Puyat are taking away their players to the national team without consulting them first.[6] The teams that bolted away from the MICAA are the Carrier Weathermakers, Crispa Redmanizers, MariwasaNoritake Porcelainmakers, Presto Ice Cream, Royal TruOrange, SevenUp Uncolas, Tanduay Distillery, Toyota Comets and the U/Tex Weavers. Leopoldo Prieto, the First PBA logo used coach for the Philippines at the 1956 from 1975 to 1988 Melbourne Olympics, was appointed as the first commissioner and Emerson Coseteng of MariwasaNoritake was chosen as the first president of the league's Board of Governors.[7] The first game of the league was held at the Araneta Coliseum on April 9, 1975, featuring MariwasaNoritake and Concepcion Carrier.
The league's first 10 years was known for the intense rivalry of the Crispa Redmanizers and the Toyota Tamaraws, still considered as one of the greatest rivalries in league history. Big names such as Robert Jaworski, Ramon Fernandez, Francis Arnaiz, Atoy Co, Bogs Adornado and Philip Cezar played for those squads before the two teams disbanded in 1983 and 1984 respectively. Following their disbandment, the league moved from the Araneta Coliseum to ULTRA in Pasig. There, the league continued to be popular, as several former Toyota and Crispa players suited up for different teams. During the mid to late 80s, Jaworski and Ginebra San Miguel became the league's most popular squad for their "never say die" attitude.[8] The team had intense rivalries with the Tanduay Rhum Masters and Jaworski's then rival Fernandez, and later the expansion Purefoods Corporation and players Alvin Patrimonio, Jerry Codiñera, Jojo Lastimosa and Fernandez. By the end of the 1980s, San Miguel Beer won numerous championships that included the 1989 Grand Slam, led by coach Norman Black and former national team stars Samboy Lim and Hector Calma. In 1989, FIBA voted to allow professionals to play in their sanctioned tournaments, hence the PBA's players are now able to represent the country internationally. In 1990, the league sent its first allprofessional squad to the Asian Games, earning a silver medal. The PBA would later send three more allpro squads to the event. The early 1990s saw Ginebra and Shell forming an intense rivalry that included Ginebra's walkout in 1990 finals against Shell and the team's dramatic comeback from a 31 deficit to beat Shell in the 1991 First Conference. Patrimonio, Allan Caidic, and a host of others became the league's main attraction. By 1993, the league moved to the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay and later saw the Alaska Milkmen win the 1996 grand slam and nine titles in the decade.

From 19992000, the PBA endured controversy. Several expatriate cagers arrived on the scene (such as Asi Taulava, Danny Seigle and Eric Menk). Their lineage was questionable and most of them were deported for falsifying documents. The arrival of dozens of these players was a counter to the fledging Metropolitan Basketball Association, a regionalbased professional league formed in 1998. After ABSCBN's 2001 abandonment, the MBA faced mounting expenses and would fold within a year. Despite the MBA's disbandment and the arrival of those players to the PBA, attendance went sour for the PBA in 2002 and was even worse the following year. In 2004, the league introduced drastic scheduling changes, when it decided to begin the season in October instead of January. The change in starting the season allowed the league to accommodate international tournaments held from June to September and it fit better with college hoops, the NCAA and the UAAP, whose seasons run from June to October. The league also reduced the number of conferences from three to two, renaming the AllFilipino Cup as the Philippine Cup and introducing a new import laden tournament named as the Fiesta Conference. To accommodate these changes, a transitional tournament, the 2004 PBA Fiesta Conference was held from February to July, which was won by the Barangay Ginebra Kings. The league also began to hold the annual AllStar weekend in the provinces, alternating from Luzon and Visayas/Mindanao provinces every year. The league regained some popularity by this year, thanks in large part to Barangay Ginebra's three PBA championships led by Eric Menk, Jayjay Helterbrand and Mark Caguioa. Solid marketing and arrival of collegiate stars from the UAAP and the NCAA also worked in the PBA's favor. By 2005, the league would take on the role of Philippine national representation under Chot Reyes, when FIBA lifted the suspension of the country following the formation of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas despite a ninthplace finish in the 2007 FIBA Asia Championship. In 2009, however, the allamateur Smart Gilas team became the country's official representative in international competitions. The PBA's role in forming a national team was thus reduced to sending up reinforcements to beef up the national squad. After the appointment of Chito Salud, son of former commissioner Rudy Salud as the commissioner of the PBA, the league returned the threeconference format starting in the 201011 season. This also ushered the return of the previously retired conferences, the Commissioner's and Governors' cups. The beginning of 2010's also saw the dominance of the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters, who nearly got the Grand Slam in the 2010–11 season and won the Philippine Cup in three consecutive years (2010–11, 2011–12, 2012–13) enabling them to permanently keep possession of the Jun Bernardino Trophy, the trophy given to the Philippine Cup champions. On May 19, 2013, the third game of the PBA Commissioner's Cup Finals between the Alaska Aces and the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel set the alltime basketball attendance record of 23,436 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum,[9] which broke the previous record of 23,108 set 11 days earlier that featured the semifinals series doubleheader between Alaska vs. San Mig Coffee and Barangay Ginebra vs. Talk 'N Text.[10] This record was eventually broken on February 12, 2014, when the seventh game of the 201314 PBA Philippine Cup Semifinals series between Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and San Mig Super Coffee Mixers set the alltime basketball attendance record of 24,883.[11] The 2013–14 season became historic as the San Mig Super Coffee Mixers became the fourth team to win the Grand Slam. Tim Cone, the coach of the Coffee Mixers also made history when he became the first coach to win two Grand Slams. For the 2014–15 season, the league expanded to twelve teams, after accepting two new franchises: Kia Sorento and Blackwater Elite. The league held its opening ceremonies at the Philippine Arena and set an alltime Philippine basketball attendance record of 52,612.[12]

On February 15, 2015, in the middle of the 2014–15 PBA season, commissioner Chito Salud announced that he will step down as the league's commissioner and was succeeded by Chito Narvasa starting the 2015–16 PBA season. Salud was then appointed as the President and CEO of the league, when the board of governors decided to restructure the league and create the President/CEO position to manage the league's marketing, expansion and businessrelated matters. The Commissioner (who will also be the league's Chief Operating Officer) will handle gamerelated matters. Salud, however, also stepped down as the league's President and CEO on December 31, 2015 and was replaced by incumbent PBA chairman Robert Non. The board of governors later appointed Chito Narvasa as the President and CEO. The said position was eventually dissolved before the start of the 2016 Governors' Cup.
Season format Unlike other leagues, there is no "season champion" of the PBA. Instead, the season is divided into conferences or tournaments (not to be confused with the definition of a "conference" in a sporting context as a grouping of teams based on geography or historical affiliation), wherein the teams compete for a conference cup. The winners of the conference cups do not face each other at the end of the season to determine the season; instead all conference champions are league champions, with the Philippine Cup being the most prestigious conference of the season. A season is usually composed of three conferences. Since the 2010–11 season, the conferences were named Philippine, Commissioner's and Governors' Cups, usually ending in a bestofseven series where the winner took the conference cup. If the same team won all of the conferences, the team was said to be the "Grand Slam" champion. A draft is held after the seasonending Governors' Cup. An opening ceremony is held before the start of the first game of the season.
Teams All franchises are owned by corporations. They are not based on geographic locale, so they do not play in a "home stadium". The league rents the different stadiums in which the teams play. A team's name is often divided into three parts; the first is the company name, then the product, then a nickname usually connected to the business of the company. For example, the San Mig Super Coffee Mixers (currently known as the Star Hotshots) is a team owned by San Miguel Pure Foods Company, Inc., with the "coffee mixers" nickname denoting the San Mig Super Coffee product. Product names are sometimes omitted or merged with the team's nickname. Though the company name rarely changes, the product name and nickname change frequently, maximizing the publicity that the league can give to a company's goods.
Current teams Notes (♯) Denotes a San Miguel Corporation subsidiary. (°) Denotes an MVP group subsidiary. (**) The San Miguel Beermen took a leave of absence from the first two conferences of the 1986 season.
Team popularity Barangay Ginebra owns the distinction of being the most popular team in the league. Its popularity can be traced to the recruitment of the backcourt tandem of Robert Jaworski and Francis Arnaiz, both former Toyota players. Fans of Toyota followed the two stalwarts to Ginebra after the Toyota team disbanded in 1983.[13] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Basketball_Association

In 2008, however, a survey showed that Purefoods shares the honor of the league's most popular ballclub with Ginebra.[14][15][16] It appeared that Ginebra was the most popular team among men, while Purefoods was the most popular among women.[17] Also, Ginebra was more popular in Metro Manila and Luzon and in classes ABC, while Purefoods was more popular in Visayas and Mindanao and in class D. The two teams were tied for most ers in class E.[18] In of percentage of ers, the survey showed that, after Ginebra and Purefoods (which both got 31%),[19] are Magnolia (21%), Alaska (13%), Sta. Lucia (5%), Red Bull (4%), Talk N' Text (3%), Coca Cola (1%), and Air 21 (1%).[20] Notably, the top three teams that have the most ers have also been considered as the most talentladen teams. They also fall under the San Miguel Corporation umbrella. With these three teams acquiring players through allegedly lopsided trades and performing strong in the past several seasons, the PBA has been considered by some as an "SMC league".[21]
Defunct and guest teams The most prominent defunct teams were the Crispa Redmanizers and the Toyota Super Corollas. Among guest teams, most notable was the American Nicholas Stoodley team that won the 1980 Invitational Conference.
Rules The PBA has a hybrid of FIBA and NBA rules:[22] 1. A game consists of four 12minute quarters, the NBA standard. 2. The threepoint line's distance is set back to 6.75 m (22.1 feet), which is the FIBA's threepoint distance for international competitions. 3. Post up players can now muscle their way into the basket without automatically getting a foul called. 4. A player can now hang on the rim after a dunk without getting called for a technical foul. 5. Zone defenses are allowed. 6. A team enters the penalty situation after the fifth foul in a quarter, with each successive foul entitling the fouled player to two freethrow attempts. In the last two minutes of regulation, teams are only allowed one foul to give, as in NBA rules. Overtime periods allow each team two fouls in the first three minutes and one foul in the last two minutes, as in NBA rules. 7. Newcomers enter the league via a draft. 8. NonFilipinos can play as "imports" and only in certain conferences. Currently in the Commissioner's Cup, imports are allowed. Teams that participated in the playoffs during the immediately preceding Philippine Cup are restricted to playing imports no taller than 6'9"; nonplayoff teams have no height limitation for imports. In the Governor's Cup imports within the height limit of 6'5" are allowed to play. 9. The league implements the Trent Tucker Rule. 10. An advantage foul, similar to the "unsportsmanlike foul" of FIBA rules, is called when the offensive player is fouled by an opposing player while in a fastbreak situation without going for the ball. The offense is given two free throws and regains the ball.
Key figures The league is currently headed by a Commissioner, and the Chairman of the PBA Board of Governors. The Commissioner handles the marketing and istration aspects as well as the technical, game related concerns of the PBA and its developmental league. The Chairman of the PBA Board of Governors is elected, together with the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Basketball_Association

Vergel Meneses is the only player to win four AllStar MVP awards, while Danny Ildefonso is the only player to have won five Philippine Basketball Association Best Player of the Conference Awards.

PBA champions The San Miguel franchise currently is the winningest active team with 22 titles followed by the Alaska Aces with 14 and the Purefoods franchise with 13. Among disbanded teams, the Crispa Redmanizers have the most titles with 13, while rival Toyota Super Corollas ended up with nine. The Jun Bernardino Trophy is awarded to the winner of the Philippine Cup[26] while the Commissioner's and Governors' cups were awarded to their respective tournament winners.
PBA records and clubs There are alltime records written in Philippine Basketball Association records, as well as distinctions like the PBA career scoring leaders, PBA 2,000 Assists Club, PBA 500 ThreePoint Club, PBA 600 Most Game Club, and PBA Top 40 Rebounder.
Rivalries The most famous matchup was the CrispaToyota rivalry of the 1970s. Fans faithfully ed their favorite squads and appeared in the multitudes at the Araneta Coliseum, or wherever the archrivals had met. In those days, the players were very ionate. On one occasion, they engaged in a major brawl, leading to the arrest and detention of several players from both clubs at Fort Bonifacio.[27] The most heated rivalry in the PBA today is that of two teams representing the Ginebra franchise and the Purefoods franchise. The rivalry is now commonly known as the Manila Clasico. It traces its roots on the original Añejo–Purefoods rivalry of the late 1980s to early 1990s.[28] Other shortlived or less intense rivalries include: Tanduay vs Ginebra (1986–1987 rivalry) Añejo/Ginebra vs Shell (1990s rivalry) San Miguel–Purefoods rivalry (late 1980s to present rivalry) Purefoods–Swift rivalry (1990s corporate rivalry) Purefoods vs. Alaska (1990s rivalry) Añejo/Ginebra vs San Miguel (late1980s to present rivalry) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Basketball_Association

Occasionally, provincial games are hosted in selected venues throughout the country. The Smart Araneta Coliseum and the Mall of Asia Arena, two of the Playoff games are usually held at venues in main playing venues of the PBA Metro Manila, most often at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. However, recent incentives to promote the league throughout the country have resulted in outoftown games.

Philippine Basketball Association From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) is a men's professional basketball league in the Philippines composed of twelve companybranded franchised teams. It is the first professional basketball league in Asia and is the second oldest continuously existing in the world after the NBA.[3] The league's regulations are a hybrid of rules from the NBA.
Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Current season, competition or edition: 2016–17 PBA Philippine Cup
The league played its first game at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on April 9, 1975.[4] Their main offices are located along Eulogio Rodriguez Jr. Avenue (C5 road), Eastwood City, Libis, Quezon City. The league is currently headed by commissioner Chito Narvasa.

History The Philippine Basketball Association was founded when nine teams left the nowdefunct Manila Industrial and Commercial Athletic Association (MICAA), which was tightly controlled by the Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP), the FIBArecognized national association at the time.[5] With the BAP controlling the MICAA, the league was de jure amateur, as players were only paid allowances. This is much like what was done in other https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Basketball_Association

countries to circumvent the amateur requirement and to play in FIBAsanctioned tournaments such as the Olympics. MICAA team owners are not pleased on how BAP, then led by Gonzalo "Lito" Puyat are taking away their players to the national team without consulting them first.[6] The teams that bolted away from the MICAA are the Carrier Weathermakers, Crispa Redmanizers, MariwasaNoritake Porcelainmakers, Presto Ice Cream, Royal TruOrange, SevenUp Uncolas, Tanduay Distillery, Toyota Comets and the U/Tex Weavers. Leopoldo Prieto, the First PBA logo used coach for the Philippines at the 1956 from 1975 to 1988 Melbourne Olympics, was appointed as the first commissioner and Emerson Coseteng of MariwasaNoritake was chosen as the first president of the league's Board of Governors.[7] The first game of the league was held at the Araneta Coliseum on April 9, 1975, featuring MariwasaNoritake and Concepcion Carrier.
The league's first 10 years was known for the intense rivalry of the Crispa Redmanizers and the Toyota Tamaraws, still considered as one of the greatest rivalries in league history. Big names such as Robert Jaworski, Ramon Fernandez, Francis Arnaiz, Atoy Co, Bogs Adornado and Philip Cezar played for those squads before the two teams disbanded in 1983 and 1984 respectively. Following their disbandment, the league moved from the Araneta Coliseum to ULTRA in Pasig. There, the league continued to be popular, as several former Toyota and Crispa players suited up for different teams. During the mid to late 80s, Jaworski and Ginebra San Miguel became the league's most popular squad for their "never say die" attitude.[8] The team had intense rivalries with the Tanduay Rhum Masters and Jaworski's then rival Fernandez, and later the expansion Purefoods Corporation and players Alvin Patrimonio, Jerry Codiñera, Jojo Lastimosa and Fernandez. By the end of the 1980s, San Miguel Beer won numerous championships that included the 1989 Grand Slam, led by coach Norman Black and former national team stars Samboy Lim and Hector Calma. In 1989, FIBA voted to allow professionals to play in their sanctioned tournaments, hence the PBA's players are now able to represent the country internationally. In 1990, the league sent its first allprofessional squad to the Asian Games, earning a silver medal. The PBA would later send three more allpro squads to the event. The early 1990s saw Ginebra and Shell forming an intense rivalry that included Ginebra's walkout in 1990 finals against Shell and the team's dramatic comeback from a 31 deficit to beat Shell in the 1991 First Conference. Patrimonio, Allan Caidic, and a host of others became the league's main attraction. By 1993, the league moved to the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay and later saw the Alaska Milkmen win the 1996 grand slam and nine titles in the decade.

From 19992000, the PBA endured controversy. Several expatriate cagers arrived on the scene (such as Asi Taulava, Danny Seigle and Eric Menk). Their lineage was questionable and most of them were deported for falsifying documents. The arrival of dozens of these players was a counter to the fledging Metropolitan Basketball Association, a regionalbased professional league formed in 1998. After ABSCBN's 2001 abandonment, the MBA faced mounting expenses and would fold within a year. Despite the MBA's disbandment and the arrival of those players to the PBA, attendance went sour for the PBA in 2002 and was even worse the following year. In 2004, the league introduced drastic scheduling changes, when it decided to begin the season in October instead of January. The change in starting the season allowed the league to accommodate international tournaments held from June to September and it fit better with college hoops, the NCAA and the UAAP, whose seasons run from June to October. The league also reduced the number of conferences from three to two, renaming the AllFilipino Cup as the Philippine Cup and introducing a new import laden tournament named as the Fiesta Conference. To accommodate these changes, a transitional tournament, the 2004 PBA Fiesta Conference was held from February to July, which was won by the Barangay Ginebra Kings. The league also began to hold the annual AllStar weekend in the provinces, alternating from Luzon and Visayas/Mindanao provinces every year. The league regained some popularity by this year, thanks in large part to Barangay Ginebra's three PBA championships led by Eric Menk, Jayjay Helterbrand and Mark Caguioa. Solid marketing and arrival of collegiate stars from the UAAP and the NCAA also worked in the PBA's favor. By 2005, the league would take on the role of Philippine national representation under Chot Reyes, when FIBA lifted the suspension of the country following the formation of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas despite a ninthplace finish in the 2007 FIBA Asia Championship. In 2009, however, the allamateur Smart Gilas team became the country's official representative in international competitions. The PBA's role in forming a national team was thus reduced to sending up reinforcements to beef up the national squad. After the appointment of Chito Salud, son of former commissioner Rudy Salud as the commissioner of the PBA, the league returned the threeconference format starting in the 201011 season. This also ushered the return of the previously retired conferences, the Commissioner's and Governors' cups. The beginning of 2010's also saw the dominance of the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters, who nearly got the Grand Slam in the 2010–11 season and won the Philippine Cup in three consecutive years (2010–11, 2011–12, 2012–13) enabling them to permanently keep possession of the Jun Bernardino Trophy, the trophy given to the Philippine Cup champions. On May 19, 2013, the third game of the PBA Commissioner's Cup Finals between the Alaska Aces and the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel set the alltime basketball attendance record of 23,436 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum,[9] which broke the previous record of 23,108 set 11 days earlier that featured the semifinals series doubleheader between Alaska vs. San Mig Coffee and Barangay Ginebra vs. Talk 'N Text.[10] This record was eventually broken on February 12, 2014, when the seventh game of the 201314 PBA Philippine Cup Semifinals series between Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and San Mig Super Coffee Mixers set the alltime basketball attendance record of 24,883.[11] The 2013–14 season became historic as the San Mig Super Coffee Mixers became the fourth team to win the Grand Slam. Tim Cone, the coach of the Coffee Mixers also made history when he became the first coach to win two Grand Slams. For the 2014–15 season, the league expanded to twelve teams, after accepting two new franchises: Kia Sorento and Blackwater Elite. The league held its opening ceremonies at the Philippine Arena and set an alltime Philippine basketball attendance record of 52,612.[12]

On February 15, 2015, in the middle of the 2014–15 PBA season, commissioner Chito Salud announced that he will step down as the league's commissioner and was succeeded by Chito Narvasa starting the 2015–16 PBA season. Salud was then appointed as the President and CEO of the league, when the board of governors decided to restructure the league and create the President/CEO position to manage the league's marketing, expansion and businessrelated matters. The Commissioner (who will also be the league's Chief Operating Officer) will handle gamerelated matters. Salud, however, also stepped down as the league's President and CEO on December 31, 2015 and was replaced by incumbent PBA chairman Robert Non. The board of governors later appointed Chito Narvasa as the President and CEO. The said position was eventually dissolved before the start of the 2016 Governors' Cup.
Season format Unlike other leagues, there is no "season champion" of the PBA. Instead, the season is divided into conferences or tournaments (not to be confused with the definition of a "conference" in a sporting context as a grouping of teams based on geography or historical affiliation), wherein the teams compete for a conference cup. The winners of the conference cups do not face each other at the end of the season to determine the season; instead all conference champions are league champions, with the Philippine Cup being the most prestigious conference of the season. A season is usually composed of three conferences. Since the 2010–11 season, the conferences were named Philippine, Commissioner's and Governors' Cups, usually ending in a bestofseven series where the winner took the conference cup. If the same team won all of the conferences, the team was said to be the "Grand Slam" champion. A draft is held after the seasonending Governors' Cup. An opening ceremony is held before the start of the first game of the season.
Teams All franchises are owned by corporations. They are not based on geographic locale, so they do not play in a "home stadium". The league rents the different stadiums in which the teams play. A team's name is often divided into three parts; the first is the company name, then the product, then a nickname usually connected to the business of the company. For example, the San Mig Super Coffee Mixers (currently known as the Star Hotshots) is a team owned by San Miguel Pure Foods Company, Inc., with the "coffee mixers" nickname denoting the San Mig Super Coffee product. Product names are sometimes omitted or merged with the team's nickname. Though the company name rarely changes, the product name and nickname change frequently, maximizing the publicity that the league can give to a company's goods.
Current teams Notes (♯) Denotes a San Miguel Corporation subsidiary. (°) Denotes an MVP group subsidiary. (**) The San Miguel Beermen took a leave of absence from the first two conferences of the 1986 season.
Team popularity Barangay Ginebra owns the distinction of being the most popular team in the league. Its popularity can be traced to the recruitment of the backcourt tandem of Robert Jaworski and Francis Arnaiz, both former Toyota players. Fans of Toyota followed the two stalwarts to Ginebra after the Toyota team disbanded in 1983.[13] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Basketball_Association

In 2008, however, a survey showed that Purefoods shares the honor of the league's most popular ballclub with Ginebra.[14][15][16] It appeared that Ginebra was the most popular team among men, while Purefoods was the most popular among women.[17] Also, Ginebra was more popular in Metro Manila and Luzon and in classes ABC, while Purefoods was more popular in Visayas and Mindanao and in class D. The two teams were tied for most ers in class E.[18] In of percentage of ers, the survey showed that, after Ginebra and Purefoods (which both got 31%),[19] are Magnolia (21%), Alaska (13%), Sta. Lucia (5%), Red Bull (4%), Talk N' Text (3%), Coca Cola (1%), and Air 21 (1%).[20] Notably, the top three teams that have the most ers have also been considered as the most talentladen teams. They also fall under the San Miguel Corporation umbrella. With these three teams acquiring players through allegedly lopsided trades and performing strong in the past several seasons, the PBA has been considered by some as an "SMC league".[21]
Defunct and guest teams The most prominent defunct teams were the Crispa Redmanizers and the Toyota Super Corollas. Among guest teams, most notable was the American Nicholas Stoodley team that won the 1980 Invitational Conference.
Rules The PBA has a hybrid of FIBA and NBA rules:[22] 1. A game consists of four 12minute quarters, the NBA standard. 2. The threepoint line's distance is set back to 6.75 m (22.1 feet), which is the FIBA's threepoint distance for international competitions. 3. Post up players can now muscle their way into the basket without automatically getting a foul called. 4. A player can now hang on the rim after a dunk without getting called for a technical foul. 5. Zone defenses are allowed. 6. A team enters the penalty situation after the fifth foul in a quarter, with each successive foul entitling the fouled player to two freethrow attempts. In the last two minutes of regulation, teams are only allowed one foul to give, as in NBA rules. Overtime periods allow each team two fouls in the first three minutes and one foul in the last two minutes, as in NBA rules. 7. Newcomers enter the league via a draft. 8. NonFilipinos can play as "imports" and only in certain conferences. Currently in the Commissioner's Cup, imports are allowed. Teams that participated in the playoffs during the immediately preceding Philippine Cup are restricted to playing imports no taller than 6'9"; nonplayoff teams have no height limitation for imports. In the Governor's Cup imports within the height limit of 6'5" are allowed to play. 9. The league implements the Trent Tucker Rule. 10. An advantage foul, similar to the "unsportsmanlike foul" of FIBA rules, is called when the offensive player is fouled by an opposing player while in a fastbreak situation without going for the ball. The offense is given two free throws and regains the ball.
Key figures The league is currently headed by a Commissioner, and the Chairman of the PBA Board of Governors. The Commissioner handles the marketing and istration aspects as well as the technical, game related concerns of the PBA and its developmental league. The Chairman of the PBA Board of Governors is elected, together with the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Basketball_Association

Ramon Fernandez and Alvin Patrimonio are the only players to win four Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards. Benjie Paras was the first and only player to win the league Rookie of the Year and MVP awards in the same year (1989). Vergel Meneses is the only player to win four AllStar MVP awards, while Danny Ildefonso is the only player to have won five Philippine Basketball Association Best Player of the Conference Awards. The league has awarded the MVP award since 1975 and the Rookie of the Year award since 1976. Other lesser awards are handed out at the end of the season; the Best Player or the Conference and Best Import of the Conference awards are handed out at the end of the conferences.
PBA champions The San Miguel franchise currently is the winningest active team with 22 titles followed by the Alaska Aces with 14 and the Purefoods franchise with 13. Among disbanded teams, the Crispa Redmanizers have the most titles with 13, while rival Toyota Super Corollas ended up with nine. The Jun Bernardino Trophy is awarded to the winner of the Philippine Cup[26] while the Commissioner's and Governors' cups were awarded to their respective tournament winners.
PBA records and clubs There are alltime records written in Philippine Basketball Association records, as well as distinctions like the PBA career scoring leaders, PBA 2,000 Assists Club, PBA 500 ThreePoint Club, PBA 600 Most Game Club, and PBA Top 40 Rebounder.
Rivalries The most famous matchup was the CrispaToyota rivalry of the 1970s. Fans faithfully ed their favorite squads and appeared in the multitudes at the Araneta Coliseum, or wherever the archrivals had met. In those days, the players were very ionate. On one occasion, they engaged in a major brawl, leading to the arrest and detention of several players from both clubs at Fort Bonifacio.[27] The most heated rivalry in the PBA today is that of two teams representing the Ginebra franchise and the Purefoods franchise. The rivalry is now commonly known as the Manila Clasico. It traces its roots on the original Añejo–Purefoods rivalry of the late 1980s to early 1990s.[28] Other shortlived or less intense rivalries include: Tanduay vs Ginebra (1986–1987 rivalry) Añejo/Ginebra vs Shell (1990s rivalry) San Miguel–Purefoods rivalry (late 1980s to present rivalry) Purefoods–Swift rivalry (1990s corporate rivalry) Purefoods vs. Alaska (1990s rivalry) Añejo/Ginebra vs San Miguel (late1980s to present rivalry) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Basketball_Association

Playing venues A majority of elimination round games are held in the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City[30] and the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.[31][32] When both arenas are unavailable, the alternate venues are the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay and the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City. Occasionally, provincial games are hosted in selected venues throughout the country. The Smart Araneta Coliseum and the Mall of Asia Arena, two of the Playoff games are usually held at venues in main playing venues of the PBA Metro Manila, most often at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. However, recent incentives to promote the league throughout the country have resulted in outoftown games.
