What for u is the best national basketball team assembled ever by the PBA for the Asian Games? The PBA made a landmark decision by sending its 1st national squad in 1990 Beijing Asian Games coached by Robert Jaworski. The all-pro squad were bannered by superstars Ramon Fernandez, Alvin Patrimonio, Samboy Lim, Allan Caidic, Benjie Paras, Ronnie Magsanoc, Hector Calma, Yves Dignadice, Chito Loyzaga, Dante Gonzalgo, Zaldy Realubit and the late Rey Cuenco. The PBA's effort led us for a finals berth. However, a superior and taller chinese squad led by Ma Jian beat the filipinos, 90-76 for the gold.
For me, the best nat'l squad sent by the PBA was the Centennial Team in 1998 Bangkok Asian Games led by Johnny Abarrientos and Kenneth Duremdes. We won a bronze medal for that against Kazakhstan.
