as i mentioned, it is specifically of Philippine Basketball Association (PBA)..

well, I started watching PBA since i am on first grade, when i first watched alvin patrimonio on movies, specially all his movies are basketball related.. as a 6 years old girl, alvin really influences me to watch PBA on TV..since, i am a basketball fanatic, specially of PUrefoods (from then and now, i am still a Purefoods fanatic) as they said a die-hard fan.. thougn the Captain "Alvin Patrimonio" already retired, i still stay a purefoods fan.. and i think that makes me a fanatic to philippine basketball... i don't have my own TV in my boarding house, what i do is i watch PBA on internet online... costly but still at least i feed my greed...sounds funny but that makes me really a real fanatic.. now how about you? are you in or out? what team do you prefer? and why? :-)

i love philippine basketball too...im a die hard Ginebra fans.My grandma opened my eyes about basketball watching the GinKings.They have the "never say die" attitude which makes them a crowd-favorite team.they have that since the first time i've seen them play,25 years ago.

I started to get so into the PBA was during the 1993 season. Actually, the very first time I watched a PBA game on television was during the 1992 Governor's Cup semifinals. Tony Harris was still the import of Swift during that time and the won the championship during that conference. From 1993 until now, I'm a big San Miguel Beer fan. Though I root for the Beermen, I never missed watching a single PBA game during that time. San Miguel was still made up of Allan Caidic, Ato Agustin, Samboy Lim, Alvin Teng, Hector Calma, Franz Pumaren, Dong Polistico, and Yves Dignadice to name a few. Kenny Travis was their import during that time and they defeated the mighty Swift Mighty Meaty Hotdogs in the finals despite the presence of super import Tony Harris. From that time, some notable players wore the SMB uniform such as Nelson Asaytono, Paul Alvarez, Danny Ildefonso, Danny Seigle, Olsen Racela, Freddie Abuda, Dondon Hontiveros, Marc Pingris, Mike Cortez, and lately, making up the super star studded SMB cast some big names such as Arwind Santos, Joseph Yeo, Alex Cabagnot, and Jonas Villanueva. Some notable imports, aside from Travis, are Lamont Strothers, Larry Robinson, Terquin Mott, Stephen Howard, Kwan Johnson, and Gabe Freeman. SMB is by far the winningest team in the PBA and is the only remaining team since it's conception in 1975.

I have never rooted for any other team in the PBA other than the San Miguel Beermen. The memories of me watching PBA games back in 1993 is still very fresh in my head and at times, I watch some clips of those in YouTube. Those are some really good old days.

O yes Beermen fans! I became a beermen fan during their grandslam year, when they are stii coached by Norman Black and they still got players like Ramon Fernandez, Hector Calma and my favorite The skywalker Samboy Lim. Eversince that time im a big beermen fan. I follow games even if im away for my job throught internet (good thing they have a website now). With a star studded lineup, I hope this conference they make it to the finals and defend their championship title!

I'm not really impressed with Siot Tanquincen as SMB's coach. With the depth of SMB's roster, they're supposed to win a lot of championships but they're struggling. SMB should get a better coach.

Back in the elementary year til now I am rooting only for one particular team. I am an avid San Miguel fan. The first time I watched PBA in our neighbor (because we cant locate the signal of the PBA in our TV),Samboy Lim was the player I admired as he glide for the basket effortless. Until now, with the likes of Dondon Hontiveros, Danny Ildefonso, Arwind Santos, Jay Washington, the San Miguel Beermen will try to defend the 2010 PBA Fiesta Conference.

I'm a san miguel beer fan ever since I started watching PBA. My all-time favorite player is Allan Caidic. I think he's the best 3-point shooter that ever played the league. I also like the two Danny's, Siegle and Ildefonso when they were young and a lot faster.

ow die hard san migueo fan? keep up..
i am a purefoods, now derby ace, fan... i only like alvin patrimonio and he is my only favorite player, though he is not playing anymore in purefoods, no one can exchange him as my favorite player.. though james yap and kerby raymundo are now the stars of purefoods... i still cheer for purefoods, alvin patrimonio still belongs to purefoods and he is their current team manager
