10.    Jerry Codiņera, Alvin Patrimonio and Vergel Meneses are the only players with at least 10 All-Star appearances.

11.    Aside from being a four-time MVP, Ramon Fernandez won a record 19 PBA championships.

12.    Ramon Fernandez is also the PBA's all-time leader in points, rebounds and blocked shots, and second all-time in assists and steals.

13.    A Ramon-Fernandez-for-Abet-Guidaben trade was executed twice. In 1985, Manila Beer swapped Fernandez to Tanduay for former Crispa rival center Guidaben while in 1988 Purefoods dealt Fernandez to San Miguel for Guidaben, then the reigning 1987 PBA MVP.

14.    Five Rookie of the Year awardees became MVPs later in their careers: Ricardo Brown, Allan Caidic, Benjie Paras, Danny Ildefonso  and Kelly Williams.

15.    Aside from owning the record for most points scored by a local (79), Allan Caidic also owns the most points scored by a local in a half (53) and the most points scored by any player in a quarter (37).

16.    Ali Peek owns the PBA’s perfect game, going 12-for-12 from the field once in a game.

17.    Billy Ray Bates owns the best career scoring average of all PBA imports at 46.2, while Ricky Brown trumps all locals with a career average of 23.1.

18.    Only 11 players in the history of the PBA have at least 1,000 three-point field goals in their career. They are Allan Caidic, Ronnie Magsanoc, Al Solis, Robert Jaworski, Olsen Racela, Lordy Tugade, Dondon Hontiveros, Mick Pennisi, Renren Ritualo, Jimmy Alapag and Paolo Mendoza.

See you tomorrow for the remainder of the list.
