The Cream of the Crop!!!! The Best of the Best!!!! The 5 Greatest Players of All-Time
	C Shaquille O'Neal The most dominant bigman to ever set foot in SBMA, Shaq has etched his name with tenacity and consistency in scoring, rebounding, field goal percentage and blocking. Together with Hakeem Olajuwon and Patrick Ewing, he led Toronto to a pair of titles - the Jeffrey O. Diaz Memorial Cup in 1999 and the 2000 Oedipus Rex Cup. Shaq Daddy consequently copped the MVP award and the Defensive Player of the Year award in the 1999 Jeffrey O. Diaz Cup. He jumped ship to Los Angeles in 2000 and have since led the Lakers to a couple of Finals appearances. He is a mainstay in the all-time list in scoring (20 ppg - 2nd, 10.5 rpg - 1st, 2.0 - 3rd, and 65% FG-4th). He has also transcended the sport to become a staple in Comish Jimmmy's Goodwill Ambassadors, Inc. and has travelled to all over the world including Bolivia, Laos, and North Korea. After the SBMA Tribunal found Governor Chua guilty of violating the Canyon Woods contract of 2005, Oneal was sent to New York and now terrorizes the paint back in the Big Apple together with Yao Ming and Kevin Garnett.
F Rasheed Wallace Dubbed as the most powerful and unstoppable player in the history of SBMA, Sheed has broken nearly all scoring records possible. Originally picked by the now-defunct Houston Rockets in 2000, Wallace set sail to Utah the following year and became a steady back-up to Antoine Walker. He hit the Big Time in 2001 when he was shipped to Chicago together with Marcus Camby in exchange for Mitch Richmond and Keith Van Horn. His 45.4 ppg average in the 2001 Jeffrey O. Diaz Cup was named "the most dominant performance in a season by any player in SBMA history" by Sports, Santa-Santita at Sagiddy-Sagiddy Sapopo, atbp. and his 87 point performance against the Orlando Magic set in the same year remains third over-all (behind Bullard's 114-pts & Duncan's 102-pts). He also set a new SBMA record when he snared all the MVP awards available that year (season, finals and all-star game), while giving the Bulls their first-ever title via a 3-0 finals sweep of the Los Angeles. The power dunker consequently won his second straight MVP plum while leading his team to the 2001 Comish Cup the following conference. Although he lost the MVP crown in the 2002 Oedipus Rex in a close battle with teammate Matt Bullard, he still led the league in scoring for the straight conference while leading Chicago to a record-setting three-peat. He is tops in a number of categories including: All-time list - 25.0 ppg, 2,987 total pts, 1,007 dunks, and 500 FTs made.
	F Matt Bullard The "One Hit Wonder" will forever be remembered as the best shooter the game has ever known. Discovered by the Bulls' Chief Kab Scout for Basketball Development, Renato Morato while playing shoot-around basketball in Worlds of Fun Sta Lucia branch together with his kumpadre Greg Anthony, Bullard quickly grabbed the spotlight by shooting the lights out from beyond the arc. His 114-point performance versus the Minneosta Timberwolves (then known as the Utah Jazz), remains as the single most unbelievable feat in the history of mankind. In that game alone, he shot a mind-boggling 36-of-81 from rainbow territory, well above Allan Caidic's previous record of 17 triples set in the PBA. He is undoubtably the lowest-rated player to make a mark in the leage (he was rated "50" in NBA Live 2002. His unbelieva-BULL performance earned him an MVP award in the 2002 Oedipus Rex Cup (with conference averages of 30.5 ppg and 9.8 triples/match). The old-timer was also the first 6th man to ever win the top individual trophy. He kissed the league goodbye the following year due to personal reasons, but for sure, his exploits from the 3-pt area will forever remain in our hearts.
G Steve Nash The league's first ever MVP, shattered the star system to the depths of the ocean by proving that "big things come from small packages". Despite big names in the inaugural year back in 1998, Nash carved his name into the history books by dominating the game with utmost precision from the perimeter and his pinpoint passing. His consistency in the scoresheet (17.8 ppg, 55% 3pt FG, and 5.5 apg) helped the Pistons claim the first-ever SBMA title. Although he was slowed down by a myriad of injuries in suceeding years, he somehow made an incredible comeback, this time in an LA Lakers uniform and has since become a steady source of points for his squad. A blockbuster trade involving three more players sent him back to Governor Salindong's powerful staple of superstars and he has somehow regained his superstar skills as he plays the starting point guard for the Magic. He is currently the President of the Player's Union and together with Orlando CEO Salindong, he has set-up the NASHARAPAN Foundation aimed at poor children who cannot afford to drink (beer/gin-pomelo).
	G Jason Kidd The most unselfish player in SBMA's storied history ain't kidding. He can pass a quiz paper quicker than the Araling Panlipunan teacher's "pass the paper" 10 count. The Church even once tried to elevate him to sainthood because he was truly a "man-for-others." And before I forget, his favorite story is "The Giving Tree." Kidd was picked in the fifth round by Chicago in the 1st-ever draft in 1998, but was forced to sign with Utah the following year following a sudden-dispersal draft. He somehow found his way back into Bill Fitch's fold and has since become the most fancied passer in the game. A vital cog in the Bull's three-peat from 2001-2002, Kidd has climbed up in the assists department with an all-time high 709 total dishes. His 13.7 assists average set in the 2001 Comish Cup is breathtaking. But he can score too. He once dominated a game from start to finish when he registered 43 points, 24 assists (all-time single game record), and 5 steals versus the Utah Jazz in 2001. The basketball wizard was also a regular fixture not just in the All-SBMA team and All-Star teams but also in the All-Defensive Team. In fact he was twice named Defensive Player of the Year (2001 Comish Cup, 2002 Jeffrey O. Diaz Cup). The 6-foot-5 point guard is also currently atop the steals category with 2.5 spg during his career).
ALL-TIME TOP 5 PLAYS OF THE SBMA! Susmaryosep! Ikaw na ang maging Danny Seigle! Nobody does it better than the SBMA! 1) 2001 JOD Cup LA vs. Toronto Shaq Daddy's Holy Mary shot off Toronto's Tim Duncan. With 3.2 seconds left, Shaquille O'Neal throws a wild shot near the three-point line over the outstreched hands of Tim Duncan to seal a victory. The usually "pasaway" LA crowd went absolutely bananas! 2) 2000 OR Cup Chicago vs. LA Karl Malone's incredible 3-point shot in the Final Four. Karl Malone took an off balanced three-point shot giving the Bulls the win. With the Bulls' marked men Michael Dickerson and Mich Richmond well-guarded by the Lakers and with 2.5 seconds remaining, Carter inbounded the ball to Karl Malone at the baseline. The Mail Man sank the three-pointer over LA's Antonio Mcdyess for the win. That was Malone's first ever converted three-point shot. Ever. 3) 1998 OR Cup Detroit vs. Houston Anthony Mason throws up a prayer. The game plan revolved around Stephon Marbury who was supposed to take the game winner. But the Rockets, behind the leech-like defense of Dikembe Mutmbo and Gary Payton shook up the Pistons' offensive design and Mason found himself at the right place and at the right time. MVP Steve Nash thought it was Marbury so he passed to a wide-open Mason who hesitantly went in for the game-winning basket. Luckily the ball went in! 4) 1998 JOD Cup Chicago vs. Milwaukee Milwaukee import Johnny Abarrientos escapes a foul as Chicago reinforcement Alvin Patrimonio misses a game-winner for Chicago. With time running out, Patrimonio sprinted to the basket not knowing that the Flying A was on his tail. Abarrientos emphatically pushed Patrimonio causing him to miss the shot. No foul was called and the game went Milwaukee's way. The non-call caused a commotion as the fans started throwing coins unto the playing court. Luckily Comish Ibarra was able to stop the commotion and asked the mop men to collect the coins. The SBMA accounting committee was able to collect all the coins (and bills!) which amounted to P52, 850 while the dollar collection was $175. These were all donated to TD. 5)1998 OR Cup Houston vs. LA Scottie Pippen blocks a possible buzzer-beater by Steve Kerr for LA as the Rockets enter the Finals. Coach Larry Bird designed a play for LA's resident gunner Steve Kerr. But Houston had no problems as Scottie Pippen rushed to Kerr to block the shot. The ball flew to the stands hitting the hotdog vendor stationed at the upper box-B section of the arena. The hotdog vendor sued Pippen, Kerr and the SBMA family but the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the latter. The hotdog vendor filed for an appeal but his motion was denied by the Court of Appeals in 2004.
