MBA BATANGAS BLADES vs NEGROS SLASHERS

THIS WAS THE 2001 FINALS WHEREIN THE BATANGAS BLADES EMERGED AS THE CHAMPS.

IN 1998, PRESIDENT FIDEL V. RAMOS INAGURATED THE METRO BALL ASSOCIATION. ABS-CBN MADE A NEW CHANNEL DEDICATED ONLY TO THIS LEAGUE, CALLED STUDIO 23.

At that time, I wasn't a fan of basketball at all, because I was one of those "jordan-haters". All I did was to listen to Bon Jovi's music and wanted to be a rockstar (wishful thinking). At school I was criticized why I didn't play basketball considering that my height is 6'1 ft.tall. Not until came MBA. A regionalistic approach wherein all other places in the country could have a shout-out to everyone that "the Philippines is not just Manila!". It is unfair on my part coz the medium is basketball. Anyways, I dug it. Well what the heck, 'twas the time when music starts to suck, disco & hiphop emerged into the mainstream. I decided to have a turning point in life from music, so i focused on this sport.

PBA stinks!! they got skills, but we don't have something to cheer about coz we don't have hometown players/team.


NORTH TEAMS:
MANILA Metrostars
PAMPANGA Dragons
PASIG-RIZAL Pirates
SAN JUAN Knights
LAGUNA Lakers
BATANGAS Blades
NUEVA ECIJA Patriots

SOUTHERN TEAMS:
CEBU GEMS
NEGROS Slashers
ILOILO Megavoltz
DAVAO Eagles
CAGAYAN DE ORO Nuggets
SOCSARGEN Marlins
SURIGAO Miners

The Cebu-Negros Rivalry. "bato-on!" chants from the crowd in cebu coliseum whenever the slashers comes to town. even the vice-mayor of cebu, the number one whiner in the league. he acts like a marc cubanesque whenever he feels that his Gems are in trouble with bad officiating.

Did I mention that Alex compton is their answer for Steve Nash in this league. Blitz 3 is very favorable on Nash's style. A 200-point average on his team would be acheivable if Nash had played on the MBA.
