                    [Summary] => The year 2001 will be memorable in many ways for the tumult it brought to Philippine basketball, both for the good and the bad. So many things transpired that forced us to take a close look at ourselves and, for many, to seek a life away from the game.


The year began with the fight between two factions claiming leadership of the Basketball Association of the Philippines, a fight carried over from mid-November of the year before. Simultaneously, the PBA draft pulled in over 30 players from the downscaled MBA, in the most promising pool of talent since 1989.
