If we are to base this on the PBA's criteria of selecting the best players, then we need to pencil in the MVP recipients from 2000 to 2009 in the mix. That means the following would automatically be included:
26. Danny Ildefonso
27. Willie Miller
28. Asi Taulava
29. Eric Menk
30. James Yap
31. Kelly Williams
32. JJ Helterbrand
The next two would be players who were not included in the original list and should have been there:
33. Abe King
34. Arnie Tuadles
The last would be a tossup amongst the following:
Danny Seigle, Rudy Hatfield or Nelson Asaytono
the top 10 best players for me are the following: After 25 great.
1. James "King" Yap
2. Danny "Dynamite" Siegle
3. Kelly "Machine-gun" Williams
4. Jimmy "Mighty-mouse" Alapag
5. Willie "Thriller" Miller
6. Cyrus "Skyrus" Baguio
7. Mark "Spark" Caguiao
8. Mark "C-Hook" Cardona
9. Jayjay "skelter" Helterbrand
10. Olcen "Rara" Racela
If I would have my own rankings of PBA's Top 25.
1. Robert Jaworski - longevity, that's really what makes him great.
2. Ramon Fernandez
3. Alvin Patrimonio
4. Samboy Lim -if not for yearly injuries, I would rate the skywalker higher than the Captain.
5. Allan Caidic
6. Bogs Adornado
7. Philip Cezar
8. Hector Calma
9. Johnny Abarrientos
10. Abet Guidaben
11. Fortunato Co Jr
12. Vergel Meneses
13. Benjie Paras
14. Freddie Hubalde
15. Jojo Lastimosa
16. Ricardo Brown
17. Francis Arnaiz
18. Ronnie Magsanoc
19. Kenneth Duremdes
20. Bernie Fabiosa
21. Ato Agustin
22. Jerry Codinera
23. Lim Eng Beng
24. Danny Florencio
25. Manny Paner
Next 10, I narrowed down my choices to:
26. Arnie Tuadles
27. James Yap - a modern great, still improving in his prime.
28. Danny Ildefonso
29. Abe King
30. Nelson Asaytono
31. Danny Seigle - dynamite's first 5 years are just hard to ignore, despite less playing time now, Danny S did far better than the MVPs of 2000-beyond.
32. Eric Menk
33. Asi Taulava
34. Paul Alvarez - if we put locals who score 60 or more points in a single game among greatest players, then Mr. Excitement should be there, forget his offcourt controversies.
35. Kelly Williams
I hate to say this on Miller and Helterbrand fanatics, I can't respect theirs winning the MVP award to be rated among the 35 very best, although well-deserved, both can't seem to follow up their MVP triumph the following season, Miller is a 2-time MVP that teams wouldn't mind trading to another team, not that fans expect to much, but when the going gets tough, Miller chokes most of the time, JJ did carry the load for his team during the 2008-09 season but where is he now, being slowly displaced in coach Jong Uichico's rotation. From 36-50, Yes, they'l make it, and the NBA doesn't even rate a MVP winner, Bob McAdoo in their Top 50 Greatest Players.
It is a travesty that Seigle didn't win a single MVP award in his career. We have to remember that Miller won the MVP award when the best players of the PBA were on loan to the national team. There should be asterisk each time someone mentions Miller as an all-time great.
10 New players add from the list...(in any order)
1. Kelly Williams
2. Jay Washington
3. Gabe Norwood
4. Sol Mercado
5. Mac-Mac Cardona
6. Rabeh Al-husseini
7. Gary David
8. Arwind Santos
9. Ali Peek
10. Joe DeVance
