PBA Legends Endorse Fajardo and Thompson's Early Entry into 50 Greatest Players List
Source: news.source.mb
The PBA selection committee has firmly supported the inclusion of active players June Mar Fajardo and Scottie Thompson in the league's 50 Greatest Players list, citing their MVP awards as justification. Despite some fan backlash, committee members including Sonny Barrios, Allan Caidic, and Quinito Henson argue that MVP status automatically qualifies players for the prestigious list, regardless of their current playing status.
Key Points
June Mar Fajardo and Scottie Thompson were added to the PBA's 50 Greatest Players list due to their MVP awards.
The selection committee, including Sonny Barrios, Allan Caidic, and Quinito Henson, defended the decision, stating that MVP winners should automatically be included in the list.
Some fans and observers argued that Fajardo and Thompson, being active players, were included too early, suggesting veterans like Olsen Racela or LA Tenorio should have been considered first.
The committee emphasized that the list is about the 'Greatest' players, not necessarily retired ones, and that MVP status is a significant criterion for inclusion.
