What the heck was Racela doing in the Mythical Team Selection?! Ang weird ng awards!

[Xiaoyu]

Uhm, excuse me lang ha...Racela wasn't anywhere near Esplana sa statistical points. Something smells really fishy here. Dapat 2nd team si Esplana!
Another thing...Ba't nawala si Pablo?! Di hamak naman na mas madami siyang statistical points kay Duremdes 'no!!! Kahit kay Ildefonso mas madami siya, eh!
And....Lastimosa?!?!?! NYEK!!! Naligaw ata yung name niya sa list. Mas kapani-paniwala pa kung si Castillo yung kasama, eh!
Did you guys see Alvarado's face?! Parang na-lugi!...Pero kung tutuusin, dinugas talaga siya. Don't get me wrong...I am not, by any means, a Sonny Alvarado fan. As a matter of fact, I think he's the most egotistical player ever to walk Philsports. Pero, HELLO!!! Di hamak naman na mas deserving siya sa Rookie of the Year, ano! Kung si Menk nakatalo sa kanya medyo maniniwala pa ako, eh...But no! Si Seigle ampucha!

*sige, pagbibigyan ko na yung isa jan na matagal nang nagpapapansin sakin...you know who you are...ano na nangyari sa pinagmamalaki mong Seigle?! Ano, larong bonjing ba?! Tssss...and don't give me crap about Paras being the sentimental favorite ek-ek...Mas madami siyang statistical points 'no. Danny Seigle's too overrated...mashado siyang hyped-up. Benjie's tha man!!!
Antay ka lang next season, Shell's gonna come back with a vengeance! Pag naka-graduate na from military school yung Fil-Am namin, sindak kayong lahat!!!
Just you wait...

[The Rock]

Okay here goes... the rock's take on this is: he really doesn't know how the PBA decides it's little awards scheme. But, Castillo clearly didn't belong anywhere near the Mythical Selection. HE is the one who is overrated. Golden boy The Rock's ***! this guy likes to choke during big games and the only reason he got clo0se to the Mythical Team is because of the phenomenal seasons of Gerry Esplana and Benjie Paras. Xiaoyu is right about one thing though: Gerry Esplana should have been included in the Mythical Selection, not Olsen Racela. Now The Rock likes Olsen for his hustle and his defense, but he pretty much played lousy for this year. The Rock doesn't really like Esplana but The Rock respects what he's done this year for Shell Velocity. They clearly needed him during the games that Alaska whipped their candy asses... but that doesn't mean Johnny A wouldn't have destroyed him if he played.

Jolas and Jeffrey Cariaso in the Mythical Selection? Well The Rock likes both of these guys but Jolas wasn't particularly great this year. Maybe during the first two conferences but injuries hampered his play for the third conference. Jeffrey though deserved it. He practically carried the fight for Mobiline when the allure of Asi Taulava died down. He was more consistent than any of his teammates, driving the lane or shooting those jumpers.

Duremdes, for Xiaoyu's info, had great statistics throughout the year. Vic Pablo's performance clearly dipped during the third conference and his Mythical Team bid suffered as a result. Another problem is that these Mythical Selections like to label players as "center" or "power forward" or "shooting guard". With players being more versatile and switching positions so often nowadays, these distinctions shouldn't apply anymore for the Mythical Selection. The top 5 players for the year should just be picked and duly recognized.

As for The Rock's most hated player since Sonny Jaworski, Mr. Earl Sonny Alvarado, The Rock says this: you can do two things about not getting your awards: NOTHING and LIKE IT!
you see, a lot of weight is given to votes from the media and votes from the players. Well, Mr. Obnoxious-kiss-my-overgrown-rat-for-a-tattoo is clearly hated by every player outside of Tanduay. also, his antics on the court have not escpaed media attention by his numerous attempts at "sahod" and throwing elbows. This guy is a first class ******* and The Rock will be the first to cheer when it's finally discovered that he isn't Pinoy and just some long lost relative of Max Alvarado. Now Sonny Alvarado, The Rock says this: he's gonna take your little "Mythical Team award", shine it up real nice, turn that son of a ***** sideways and stick it straight up your candy ***!

If you smell what The Rock is cookin!

[Kamatayan]

Just read the papers, pinalitan na pala awarding criteria:

30% statistical points
30% media votes
30% player votes
10% 4 man committee

I've always felt that the Awards become a popularity contest, (remember Paras' Rookie-MVP, and how about those "media parties" Nap Gutierrez used to throw for Patrimonio) however I really can't see any other way around this...

That being said, I agree with The Rock, they should just pick the top 5 players instead of labeling by positions. There was a time when Codinera was among the top 5 or 6 players during the year but he didn't even get listed on the 2nd Mythical Team because the center spots were full... While some 2nd rate guard (or was it point guard) got in because the players competing for the slot all had bad years...

[zimatar]

Alam mo Tawyo, este X-----, PINAGBIGYAN lang si Paras para sa MVP para di maduplicate yung tsamba niya 10 years ago, saka sana basahin mong mabuti, I voted for Menk or Alvarado kahit SMB ako kasi mas deserving sila no!

[zimatar]

At tungkol naman kay Racela Mr TAWYO, gaya ng sinabi mo WEIRD NG AWARDS! SUPER WEIRD TALAGA, ( PINAGBIGYAN )!!!

[Y2K-G_21]

talagang weird!
pinagbigyan si Siegle para hindi mabigo ang mga SMB fans no!
hindi talaga sya deserving!
who do you think ba ang dapat na MVP si Siegle????
ha! excuse me lang ha ang layo niya kay paras!
At si Alvarado naman kaya hindi nag MVP dahil wala siyang nabigay na championship sa team niya no!
alam ko naman mas deserving si Alvarado eh!
Si paras nag MVP dahil naka produce siya ng isang championship sa team niya which is the most important conference.
All-Filipino cup
OK zimitar??????
bobo mo kasi eh
baho mo pa
******!
putok!
amoy shawarma!

[zimatar]

I miss you Xiaoyu, I love you! Shell4life!!!

[Xiaoyu]

Mr. TAWYO?!?!
Di ka pa nakaka-hawak ng playstation 'no?!

Haaaayyy...jologity talaga, o....

Pinagbigyan MY ***! Higit na mas madami kaya yung statistical points niya. Di pwede sina Menk & Alvarado kasi wala silang championships. Why can't you get that through your puny little head?
Si Seigle ang pinagbigyan sa ROY.
Wag kang kadiri...Tumatayo yung balahibo ko sa jologness mo.

[zimatar]

IKAW ANG BOBO! KINIKISS MO NGA ANG ******* NI PARAS EH!!!!

[GS2000]

1. Eric Menk was supposed to win ROY, pero mas mataas yung total points ni Seigle kaya automatic na siya yung naging ROY...

2. racela played well this year, pero esplana played better...in fact, i think esplana should have been the PG sa mythical five, and abbarientos sa mythical team...lousy kasi laro ni abbarientos this year eh...

3. ang may kasalanan eh yung taong nagclassify ng players. si duremdes dapat sa SG, si paras sa C, si alvarado sa PF...

4. noy castillo sa mythical team? goodness gracious. mas deserving pa si abuda sa kanya no...

[vertigo]

sg2000,
i agree with your no. 4 assertion!

abuda, idol!

smb!smb!smb!

[Y2K-G_21]

[Y2K-G_21]

Zimatar: SMB!! Sobrang Baho Mo!!!!!!
hahahahaha!
******!
putok!!!!!
shawarma!
umiwi ka na sa Iraq!

[Xiaoyu]

Rock: At the end of the semifinal round of the Governor's Cup, Pablo still had a HUGE lead over Duremdes in sps. Plus, he helped carry his team to 2 finals appearances. He had great statistics throughout the year as well...even better than Duremdes'. If you don't believe me, you can check out www.pba.com for proof.

Hello, compare mo naman yung sps ni Castillo kay Lastimosa...*****, layo...diba same position sila??

GS2000, super tumpak yung #2 mo! Akala ko ako lang yung nag-isip na mas maganda yung production ni Esplana kay Abbarrientos. Mas madami pa sps niya! Yan ang disadvantage ng paglalaro sa team na hindi pang-masa

[The Rock]

Hey Xiaoyu, The rock didn't say that Jolas should be in the Mythical Team, just that Noy Castillo shouldn't be there either. Like The Rock said, if there was no classification of players as SG, SF, etc, there would be less or no controversy as only the best players are included REGARDLESS OF POSITION.

If your assertion is true about Pablo's statistical points blame it on a) the aforementioned classification system, b) blame it on Pablo's lack of popularity with either the players, media, or the 4 man committee, or c) his stats for the first and second conferences were neglected due to people's tendency to reward the most recent action, not something done months before.

Oh, by the way, hindi rin pang masa ang Alaska ha. ang daming galit sa Alaska sa forum na ito dahil "mayabang" kuno or whatever. Mraming galit sa success ng Alaska, despite teams like Purefoods, Ginebra, SMB, and Tanduay being more popular. Even the announcers of the PBA make this distinction very clear. Both Alaska and shell have won championships when they have clearly not been the popular choice.
