Philippine PBA Trades, Releases, Sign-ups, Rumours (vol. III)

[sajubeads]

Parks relegated as Guard, not forward.. WTF!!! He's playing SF throughout the season.. sometimes PF when Rosario playing "sucks" throughout AFC.. Media voting sucks always in the PBA.. this is the reason why Siegle and Asaytono never winning awards throughout their PBA careers before..

In the official tally, Parks was not even included in both Guards and Forward Center slot for Elite 5...So ano yun your top Stat leader not a player as he was not classified either as Guard, Forewrd or Center ...

Parks was killed by player votes. Is he really that unlikeable? They couldn't even get the entire TnT solidly behind him.

[CoJ]

wow zero media vote for perez. well i guess the rumours are true.

-lol @ the MIP voting as well, the league wanted Caperal to win despite Chua winning the stats race (why not included in the computation?) and landslide media vote.

-damn CJ and BRP are not liked by their peers and the media, I guess they both have attitude problems/introverts

btw any idea how the player voting goes, are you allowed to vote for your teammate? the PBA panel vote has to much weight in this computation

we could go as far as boybits victoria winning ROY over rey evangelista, heck Benjie Paras shouldnt have won the 1999 MVP as Danny Seigle and Erick Menk were statistically better, well you know the story, false nationalism narrative for the media, players and pba panel

Parks led in SP yet he didn't even got a spot in the elite 5? Heck you could argue he's the best player in 1-3 spots.. not winning the BPC is understandable when the other players are more popular/likeable but damn

Was thinking the same thing initially. But it's also hard to argue against Pringle and Wright. Maybe him missing the Finals series hurt his chances a lot.

Let's wait. Maybe Parks was classified as coach and he'll win COY. Lol

[mathematicianrcg]

Bros and Sirs.

He got 4 Players Votes.

That practically means even his own teammates didnt vote Parks.

Anyway, Parks is still the homegrown player who had the second highest chance of being drafted in nba.(Just Behind Kai)

And even I am a ginebra fan. Parks is really a great player

That just goes to show how subjective the voting is by the PBA people. It was a popularity contest out there.

For me, the weighting of the votes should be like this:

Statistics (individual stats, both basic and advanced, team wins and win shares) = 70%
Media = 10%
Players and coaches = 10%
PBA board = 10%

Shouldn't really matter if the guy is not likeable due to being a snob, spoiled, introvert, etc., as long as he showed monster numbers and is responsible for the team wins, that should be enough for the player to win the much coveted awards.

As opposed to people who didn't even made the finals? Yeah those guys deserve their awards but being left out completely is mind boggling. It's like it doesn't matter how well you played. If they don't like you you're not winning anything. I wonder how Parks is gonna respond to this. I'm not a fan heck I don't even like him but this is stupid.

It really was. Tough year for Parks. Hopefully he wins a championship and a finals MVP to shut up the haters.

This is the best suggestion. I like the part that includes wins and win shares. But of course, I doubt the PBA does this because they need to cater to the fans. Doesn't matter if a person actually deserves it or if someone deserves more.

Agree with this bro.

Let's not give the media, players & coaches, and PBA board too much power in deciding who gets this award & who won't. Ang problema kasi is that individual awards have become a popularity contest. Lets face it, there are very skilled players who aren't that appealing to the fans & media, & aren't good at getting along with fellow players. Ang lagay ba ay, they should be deprived of individual awards despite their stellar game performances simply becoz they aren't that appealing? Unfair naman yata yun.

Much weight should be given on performance & less on popularity. After all, basketball is a sports, not showbusiness.
