Dubbed as the “Liga ng mga Bida”, the nation’s premier basketball league is set to be back this November 20, 2016.
With the new basketball season, the PBA will parade its new hardcourt heroes led by the rookies who got drafted in this year’s PBA Draft. Names like Mac Belo and Kevin Ferrer are the new players we have to watch out as they bring more highlights reel to the league.
We will also start to see familiar faces such as James Yap, Paul Lee, Doug Kramer and Mick Pennisi wearing different jersey as they play in their new respective teams.

Ginebra lang kase pinanonod ng sambayanang pilipino dahil sila lang ang nakakapuno ng venue…halos lahat ng team nilalangaw pag walang laro gsm..kaya ginawa ni narvasa laging sunday laro para fullpack ang venue money isip isip kayo mga brod….kahit kangkong kumikita ang venue
Lokohan na lang talaga PBA ngayon. Unfair sa ibang teams yan na Ginebra lagi ang 2nd game. Dati nung si Salud pa ang kume nagiging first game pa ang Ginebra ngayon hindi na kahit Blackwater at Mahindra lang ang kalaban. Sa bagay di na din nakakapagtaka kase magtropa si Chuawa at Narvasa. Wag na din magtaka kung pumasok Ginebra ulit sa Finals. Buti na lang may NBA na para ayun na lang panoorin ko, wala pang favoritism at lokohan. #FireNarvasa
First appearance ni Paul Lee as Star Hotshot. Tingnan natin kung deserving nga sya na to be a James Yap replacement.
Ah,ano yan special sked?,parang special draft ng gilas?,,,kung fans kayo at DIE hard ng teams nyo,,aba,,kahit anong oras o araw basta may pambili kayo ng tiket o bigay ng kaibigan,kamag,anak,utang o complimentary larga!!!paano naman mga taga porbins di pa nakakanood sa araneta,moa,etc,? O,paano umpisa na naman sa nov20,pagkatapos ng season may open booking sa bora!,,,sasabihin na naman next season pre,bawi kmi!!!
Ganito kasi yan. Try mo iFirst Game Ginebra. Pagdting ng 2nd game ubos nanunuod. Panget tignan sa tv.
Naalala ko tuloy ung game 6 . Ung mga fans kuno daw ng Meralco biglang nagsialisan nung buzzer beater. Hnd manlang ngwang palakpakan mga players nung tumanggap ng award.
Basta ako wala akong pake sa pinagtatalunang “KITA”. Ang importante masaya ako sa pagsuporta ko sa ALASKA ACES at RAIN OR SHINE ELASTOPAINTERS. Idagdag ko na rin ang NLEX ROAD WARRIORS.
Lagi nalang talaga 2nd game GINEBRA. nagpapatunay lang talaga na walang saysay ang PBA pag wala ang GINEBRA sa liga.
