PBA's Unforgetable Moments

[thugpinoy]

Its nice to look back and talk about some of the PBA's most memorable moments. i know there are too many to mention but you can at least tell us one and let us bring the good old days..

My first on the list is the controversial rumble by the Shell Rimula X and the Swift Mighty Meaty Hotdogs way back in the 90's.
it started when the controversial import of Swift, Ronnie Thompkins throws a ball straight into the face of Ricky Relosa while battling for a looseball out of bounds action. both parties were charged into Technical Fouls, but when Ronnie Thompkins is about to take the Technical Freethrows, Ricky Relosa on his blind side, " binatukan sa bumbuman " and that started the Cops and Robbers action upto the Bench of Shell.
after that " rumble " many players were suspended and fined by former commisioner Jun Bernardino.

yeah.. that one happened during All Filipino Cup, it was the 1st Conference then. Rudy Distrito was suspended for the rest of the season without pay.. too bad

I do remember a lot of memorable game in the PBA but the most that makes me so happy when Rudy Distrito made that jumper for Ginebra to claim the championship against Shell. That was game 7, down from being 1-3 standing. :-)

the dying second shot of Bal David during the 1999 PBA Playoffs [no.1 Mobiline vs. no.8 Ginebra], the shot that made Asi Taulava cry.

SMB vs. Ginebra .... The bal david half-court winning shot....

How about Johnny Abarrientos versus import Stevin Smith? Both players were shoot-out I remember Abarrientos a.k.a. the Flying A reverse layup over the Swift import. And then final seconds the regulation Stevin fade-away 3pt shot and seal to win by 1pt. Unbelievable!

it was a kneeling shot.. more of a hail mary shot.. after making that basket.. he ran straight to jawo while crying.. i remember that.. i was still in grade 1 or kinder ( dont remember ) but what i remember clearly was when the destroyer made that shot.. the whole street ( i mean lahat ng kapitbahay namin ) screamed and shouted..

yeah Mobiline with twice to beat advantage.. actually that was a set-up play for Vergel Meneses, but Bal being double teamed after the inbound and got lucky to got a little space when he pivoted.

Do you remember Robert Jaworski's punch Jojo Lastimosa's stomach during Jawo's lost to Purefoods game?

[joel23]

Another, during Purefoods and San Miguel in the 80's. San Miguels Samboy Lim drove on to airing in the sky and then Purefoods Jojo Lastimosa's hit to foul him and then Samboy rolled at 180 from his head to bottom. When Samboy's landed from his head at the bottom and then very bad fall at the ground. He covered his face and blood spilled. The worst happened I had ever seen in the PBA. And then Samboy rushed to hospital.

when terry saldana broke his knees.

he was all alone on a layup and when he landed his knees was dislocated from his thigh.

sh*t i still remember that scene, he broke it sideways. but miraculously he did make a comeback but was never the same again.
