“Poging Baste, Haba...”: San Sebastian dethrones San Beda
The worst moment of my basketball fandom came in September 1994, in an NCAA championship game at the oven-hot Rizal Memorial Coliseum. I was in sixth grade then, and I was with my classmates rooting for the Letran Knights, who were defending their champio

Purefoods and San Miguel not only rekindled their rivalry at that time, but 1993 proved to be the most memorable for the Zobel de Ayala-franchise. It was the first time Coney Isalnd/Purefoods defeated San Miguel Beer in the finals following memorable setbacks against the Norman Blac-led squad several times (1988 Open Conference, 1989 All-Filipino and 1992 All-Filipino) .
But 1993 proved to be a turnaround season for Alvin and Jerry, who have become more matured then even after battling it out in one of the tightest MVP race ever. Alvin won over Jerry because Purefoods management forced their teammates to root for The Captain over the Defense Minister that nearly created a breakaway of the most formidable frontline combo that time.
It was also that year, Coney Island did the best thing of snaring Abe King. With King around, Coney Island had three of the best rebounders at that time. It was Patrimonio who convinced Coney Island to get King as he had psychological effects every time he goes up aganist The Chairman of the Board.

Hey Rey, I am quite sure the Alvin-Jerry MVP controversy happened in 1994. They lost the All-Filipino to San Miguel that year, but won the Commissioner's Cup with Kenny Redfield.
I'm not an insider or anything, but I could detect a strain in their relationship after that. Or maybe it's just my imagination. But I'm surprised that Purefoods, with Alvin as team manager, hasn't made more of an effort to bring Jerry back to its fold in recent years.
