Bizarre Moments in the PBA this Decade


The decade is now ending, and we'll take a look back on some of the bizarre moments in the PBA from 2000-09.

1. Chot Reyes calls a timeout for a shooting clinic - This one happened in the 2006-07 Philippine Cup Finals, when Chot Reyes, who was coaching the San Miguel Beermen was furious that his players are missing free throws, and decided to call a timeout and dictated his players to practice their free throws during the timeout!

2. Yeng Guiao elbows Dondon Hontiveros - During the 2006-07 Philippine Cup Semis, Hontiveros, who hit a three in front of the bench of the Red Bull Barako was running to get back in defense when Guiao, coach of Red Bull back then give Dondon some with his elbow and this triggered exchanges of furious words from SMB Assistant Coach Pido Jarencio and Guiao. Here is the video link to the incident.

3. Mark Caguioa announces to run naked - Ginebra star guard Mark Caguioa announces in Philippine Television that if Ginebra does not make it to the Finals, he will run naked along the roads of Roxas Boulevard. Caguioa said that it was just a joke that should not be taken seriously. Ginebra subsequently lost to Red Bull during its quarterfinals encounter after having a big lead and well, it was just a joke.

4. Yeng Guiao instructs his players to walkout - Another incident regarding Guiao. This is still from the same SMB-Red Bull series in 2006-07, and this time, Guiao, not happy with officiating decided to take matters into his hands, this is by taking all of his players out of the playing court. Subsequently, after the long wait, the game was restored and Red Bull, along with Guiao was fined worth half a million pesos.

5. Eala overturns Talk n' Text Game 1 Finals victory to Ginebra - Asi Taulava, who was just recently cleared by the Department of Justice that he is indeed a Filipino Citizen, played as they take on the Kings during the first game of the 2004-05 Philippine Cup Finals. Ginebra decided to file a protest since Taulava was still suspended and not allowed to play during that time. Noli Eala overturns the decision and Taulava was never allowed to play in the entire series.
