Season Highlights

  • Alaska Milk marked its first participation in the league, while Magnolia, one of the founding members of the PBA, took a temporary leave of absence but returned with a new lineup featuring the former national players of the Northern Consolidated Corporation (NCC) team during the season-ending Third Conference.
  • Teams paraded two reinforcements each in the import-laden conferences, which led to a record-breaking season in the last term of PBA chairman Carlos "Honeyboy" Palanca.
  • The birth of the most bitter PBA rivalry since the Toyota-Crispa days - that between the Tanduay Rhum Makers and crowd-favorite Ginebra San Miguel - with both teams winning their first championships during the season.

Famous quotes containing the word season:

    Compare ... the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.
    John Berger (b. 1926)
