Like the year-end awards that the PBA gives out, pati ba naman dito sa 40 GOAT may bahid pa din nang popularity & politics.
Sa bagay, hindi nakakapag-taka with panel members like P. Gregorio, Robert Non & Quinito Henson - WTF! Mga kilalang inutil ang mga yan sa kanilang larangan.
Even a f_cking congressman was member of the panel ! WTF !
Some of my 2-centimos worth .....
** Very flawed criteria to begin with. This is the PBA, where winning an MVP award doesnt mean your the greatest, it just means that you were very good for a particular season.
Some cases, Millers MVP awards came at seasons wherein the PBA sent its top guys to the National Team ..... Kelly Williams won only on stats, he wasnt even the best on his old SLR team.
Also, those SMCorp players who won MVP's due to player and media votes - they have six teams and control most of the press ...... the hell, their teams didnt even make it to the Finals the whole season!
Examples, Arwind, Caguioa, Fajardo (rightfully was excluded).
** In what world do guys like Marlou & Kerby deserve a spot over stalwarts like Hawkins, Asaytono, Seigle, Espino, etc.
Marlou was good for only a couple of seasons, while Hawkins, Asyatono, Espino were good for a looooong time. Heck, when Marlou played for SLR, he was 2nd fiddle to Espino.
** In what world does a guy like Helterbrand deserves a slot over Racela.
Same argument, Helterbrand was good for a season, while Racela was good for more than a decade.
Heck, I wouldnt even pick Helterbrand over guys like Bal David, Dindo Pumaren, Willie Generalao, Arnie Tuadles, etc.
** Pingris & Castro are still playing near their prime ....... still too young to be selected. When the list becomes 50 or 60 GOAT, I have no problem with their inclusion.
** Hehe, iba talaga dito sa Pinas ...... sa kahit anong larangan, asahan na pasikitan at palakasan nang padrino.
